Neutron activation and gamma spectrometry are usable also for the determination of cross-sections different neutron reactions. We have studied cross-section yttrium (n,xn) threshold reactions using quasi mono-energetic source based on reaction 7Li target at Nuclear Physics Institute ASCR in Rez. Yttrium suitable candidates fast field measurement by detectors. Fast monitoring is necessary already today a wide range accelerator facilities will gain importance future reactors generation IV,...

A comprehensive comparison with earlier experimental data...
The cross-sections of relativistic deuteron reactions on natural copper were studied by the means activation method. beams produced JINR Nuclotron (Russia) with energies from 1 GeV up to 8 used. Lack such prevents usage foils for beam integral monitoring. monitors will help us improve determination during ADS studies. yttrium samples are very suitable detectors monitoring neutron fields not only in But experimental cross-section data higher energy threshold still missing. This situation is...
The collaboration Energy and Transmutation of Radioactive Waste uses different setups consisting lead, natural uranium graphite irradiated by relativistic protons deuterons to study transmutation radioactive materials produced neutrons.The activation samples are used determine integral proton or deuteron beams also neutron flux in places experimental set-ups.Unfortunately almost no cross-section data for with GeV energies available.The similar situation is threshold (n,xn) reactions neutrons...
The main detector system at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) located in Dubna, Russia is Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD). For better calibration reason, MPD needs an additional trigger for off-beam of sub-detectors and rejection (veto) cosmic muons. should also be useful practical astrophysics observations showers. consortium NICA-PL group defines goals basic assumptions Cosmic Ray (MCORD). This article describes conceptual design simulation plans MCORD based on plastic...
A modern approach to nuclear energy involves reprocessing like transmutations of spent fuel products reduce their radiotoxicity and time needed for storage. For this purpose, they are immobilized in inert matrices made zirconia can be "burned" fast neutron reactor or Accelerator Driven System. These spherical form obtained by sol-gel process. The paper presents a method microspheres fabrication based on the combined Complex Sol-Gel Process double extraction process consisting preparation...

Study of the deep subcritical systems (QUINTA) using relativistic beams is performed within project “Energy and Transmutation Radioactive Wastes” (E&T – RAW). The experiment assembly was irradiated by deuteron/proton beam (Dubna NUCLOTRON). We calculated neutron energy spectrum inside whole threshold (n,xn) reactions in yttrium (Y-89) foils.
