Though atomic nuclei are often depicted as static clusters of protons and neutrons (nucleons), the particles are actually bustling with movement. Thus, the nucleons carry a range of momenta. Sometimes ...

We present new developments for an ab-initio model of the neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in inducing specific classes of DNA damage. RBE is evaluated as a function of the incident ...

Since the discovery of neutrons in 1932 1, neutron sources have evolved into a valuable diagnostic tool for science and industry. As neutrons interact dominantly via the strong force with the nucleus ...
