Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

A key task for customs workers is the interception of hazardous, illegal and counterfeit items
in order to protect the health and safety of citizens. However, it is estimated that only a small …

Active interrogation is a vigorous area of research and development due to its promise of
offering detection and characterization capabilities of special nuclear material in …

Hafnium-based materials are attractive for a scintillator owing to their high density and
effective atomic number. In this study, single crystals of Ce-doped calcium hafnate …

Abstract xCeF 3-doped (30-x) SrF 2-20Al 2 O 3-50B 2 O 3 glasses (x= 0.1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10
mol%) were synthesized by the conventional melt quenching method, and then …

We successfully developed Eu-doped SrBr2 transparent ceramics with different Eu
concentrations by spark plasma sintering and evaluated their optical and scintillation …

A novel design for a compact gamma-ray spectrometer is presented. The proposed system
allows for spectroscopy of high-flux multi-MeV gamma-ray beams with MeV energy …

Optical and scintillation properties of nondoped and Eu 3% doped SrI 2 crystals grown by
the Vertical Bridgman method were investigated. Eu-doped crystal showed an intense single …

Ce: CsCl transparent ceramics doped with different concentrations of Ce (0.01, 0.1, and 1
mol.%) were synthesized by spark plasma sintering, and their optical, scintillation and …

CsCl transparent ceramics were prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, and
their optical, scintillation, and dosimetric properties were investigated. To evaluate the …
