Experimental analyses of moderate-temperature nuclear gases produced in the violent collisions 35 MeV/nucleon $^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$ projectiles with $^{92}\mathrm{Mo}$ and $^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ target nuclei reveal a large degree \ensuremath{\alpha} particle clustering at low densities. For these gases, temperature- density-dependent symmetry energy coefficients have been derived from isoscaling yields $A\ensuremath{\leqslant}4$. At densities 0.01 to 0.05 times ground-state density symmetric...
Clustering in low density nuclear matter has been investigated using the NIMROD multidetector at Texas A&M University. Thermal coalescence modes were employed to extract densities, ρ, and temperatures, T, for evolving systems formed collisions of 47A MeV (40)Ar+(112)Sn, (124)Sn (64)Zn+(112)Sn, (124)Sn. The yields d, t, (3)He, (4)He have determined ρ=0.002 0.03 nucleons/fm(3) T=5 11 MeV. experimentally derived equilibrium constants α particle production are compared with those predicted by a...
A correct soil moisture estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for many applications: agriculture, meteorological forecast, flood and drought prediction, and, in general, water accounting management. Traditional methods typically provide point-like measurements, but suffer from heterogeneity, which can produce significant misinterpretation of the hydrological scenarios. In last decade, cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) has emerged as promising approach detection content. CRNS average over...

This study examines the performance of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) transport model in simulating low-energy nuclear reactions 18 O + 12 C at 16.7 MeV/nucleon. Experimental data, collected using GARFIELD+RCo detector Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, were compared with AMD coupled GEMINI++ decay code. The results show that accurately predicts behaviour fragments Z ≥ 10, although discrepancies observed production 4 < 10.
Abstract The possibility to detect fast neutrons as a distinct signal from that one of γ-rays background is surely great importance for several topics, spanning homeland security radiation monitoring in nuclear physics research plants. Nowadays, Helium-3 based detectors are extremely expensive, while the use large volume liquid scintillators presents serious concerns related spillage risks and waste disposal. A very attractive alternative commercially available solid scintillators, which...
Abstract Measuring the variability of incoming neutrons locally would be usefull for cosmic‐ray neutron sensing (CRNS) method. As measurement high energy is not so easy, alternative particles can considered such purpose. Among them, muons are created from same cascade primary fluxes that generate at ground. In addition, they easily detected by small and relatively inexpensive detectors. For these reasons could provide a suitable local to corrections based on remote monitor data. The reported...
