Background Neutron sources are increasingly employed in a wide range of research fields.
For some specific purposes an alternative to existing large-scale neutron scattering facilities …

Recent terror events and the increase in the trade of illicit drugs have fuelled the exploration
of the use of fast neutrons as probes for the detection of hidden contraband, especially …

The Migdal effect has received much attention from the dark matter direct detection
community, in particular due to its power in setting leading limits on sub-GeV particle dark …

A new measurement of the quenching factor for low-energy nuclear recoils in CsI [Na] is
presented. Past measurements are revisited, identifying and correcting several systematic …

This book reflects developments in both fundamental nuclear physics and the application of
fast neutrons to many practical problems in medicine, the environment, security, and other …

Particle detectors that use liquid xenon (LXe) as detection medium are among the leading
technologies in the search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). A …

A new experimental evaluation of the quenching factor for nuclear recoils in NaI [Tl] is
described. Systematics affecting previous measurements are addressed by careful …

Neutron irradiation of samples for 40Ar/39Ar dating in a 235U fission reactor requires error-
producing corrections for the argon isotopes created from Ca, K, and, to a lesser extent, Cl …

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is a dual-phase liquid xenon time
projection chamber (TPC) operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead …

Due to a need for security screening instruments capable of detecting explosives and
nuclear materials there is growing interest in neutron generator systems suitable for field use …
