Abstract:The idea of this article is to use an isotropic illumination of a sample by thermal neutrons instead of a collimated beam for imaging purposes. The standard experimental setup is rearranged: The inspected object is placed to an isotropic field of slow neutrons and observed by a pinhole camera with an imaging neutron detector. A fraction of neutrons scattered inside of the inspected sample can pass through the pinhole and reach the detector. Images created by this method are similar to the standard photography.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
