A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

A collaboration of university scientists and researchers working at Los Alamos National Laboratory has published the final paper from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) experiment. The ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

The detector and electronics in a new neutron spectrometer that's being tested in space to monitor radiation for future manned NASA space missions were built and tested at the National Space Science ...

In an effort to find an answer to the problem of identifying smuggled special nuclear material (SNM), researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in California say a neutron scatter camera they are ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 11, 2010 -- PartTec, an Indiana-based manufacturer of radiation detection equipment, has signed an agreement to manufacture and market an advanced neutron detector system ...

A team of Russian scientists has designed a device that they claim would provide a quick and easy way of detecting explosives, drugs and other illegal substances hidden inside enclosed spaces such as ...

The Versatile Neutron Imaging Instrument (VENUS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Spallation Neutron Source has officially ...

Scientists at Oxford University and Imperial College London have designed a low-cost, highly sensitive neutron detector that can identify the presence of nuclear weapons. Neutron detectors are used at ...
