The STEREO experiment is a very short baseline reactor antineutrino aiming at testing the hypothesis of light sterile neutrinos as an explanation deficit observed neutrino interaction rate with respect to predicted rate, known Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly. detector center located 10 m away from compact, highly 235U enriched core research nuclear Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble, France. This paper describes site, components and associated shielding designed suppress external sources...
A Monte Carlo (MC) variance reduction technique is developed for prompt-γ emitters calculations in proton therapy. Prompt-γ emitted through nuclear fragmentation reactions and exiting the patient during therapy could play an important role to help monitoring treatment. However, estimation of number energy per primary with MC simulations a slow process. In order estimate local distribution emission volume interest given beam treatment plan, based on specific track length estimator (TLE) has...
The EURopean Illicit TRAfficking Countermeasures Kit (EURITRACK) inspection system uses 14 MeV neutrons produced by the D(T,n α) reaction to detect explosives in cargo containers. Reactions induced fast inside container produce gamma rays, which are detected coincidence with associated alpha particle, detection of allows neutron direction be determined. path length is obtained from a time-of-flight measurement, thus allowing origin rays determined, while chemical composition target material...
Since the last past years, Nuclear Measurement Laboratory of CEA Cadarache, France, together with Partners from European and National projects, has been studying application fast neutron interrogation Associated Particle Technique for material identification in different areas homeland maritime security, characterisation materials constituting radioactive waste. Fast 14 MeV neutrons are produced <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA) are conducting an R&D program to improve the characterization of long-lived medium-activity (LL-MA) radioactive waste packages with analytical methods non-destructive nuclear measurements. This paper discusses fast neutron interrogation associated particle technique (APT), which provides 3D information about material composition. volume elements filled iron, water,...
The associated particle technique (APT) is a "neutron in - gamma out" non destructive characterization method recently brought out of the laboratory thanks to development transportable neutron generators. possibility determine 3D map elements present an inspected volume makes this very attractive complement X- or gamma-ray imaging. Since last few years, Nuclear Measurement Laboratory CEA Cadarache, France, studying several applications for homeland security and radioactive waste...

Neutron inspection of sea-going cargo containers has been widely studied in the past 20 yr to non-intrusively detect terrorist threats, like explosives or Special Nuclear Materials (SNM), and illicit goods, narcotics smuggling materials. Fast 14 MeV neutrons are produced by a portable generator with t(d, n) α fusion reaction, tagged both direction time thanks alpha particle detection. This Associated Particle Technique (APT) allows focusing on specific areas interest containers, previously...
Purpose: Online in vivo control of the ion range a patient during proton therapy is major challenge for quality assurance treatments. After measurements showed that prompt-γ emission correlated to (Min et al 2006, Testa 2008), imaging emerged as apromising method (Verburg 2013). Fast methods are required compute accurate maps design and predict camera response from treatment plans. An analytic computation based on structure dose calculation engines planning system has recently been proposed...
