Abstract:In the frame of dependable neutron ux instrumentation development for Generation IV reactors, the French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA) investigates an innovative technology based on optical signal produced within a ssion chamber. In such gaseous detectors, neutrons interact with ssile material, releasing heavy ions in the MeV range, eventually leading to spontaneous photons emission in the ultraviolet to infrared range. We hereby present the space-time evolution of heavy-ion slowing-down tra… 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.
