Neutrons are a powerful probe in material science with unique penetrating abilities. A major challenge stems from the fact that neutron optical devices are limited to refractive indices on the order of
In this work, four artworks dating from the 19th century by Brazilian painters Firmino Monteiro, Henrique Bernardelli, and Eliseu Visconti were analyzed by MA-XRF. Pb-L, Fe-K, and Hg-L were the main elemental maps obtained in all paintings. In the ar...
In this study, the thermal stress alterations generated in a tungsten fiber reinforced titanium composite (W/Ti composite) were evaluated by the neutron stress measurement method at cryogenic temperatures. The W/Ti composite thermal loads were repeat...
The effects of electronic excitations on the ion sputtering of water ice are not well understood even though there is a clear dependence of the sputtering yield on the electronic stopping power of high-energy ions. Ion sputtering of amorphous water i...
The article describes the development, design, and upcoming construction and deployment of core modules of DUCK (Detector system of Unusual Cosmic-ray casKades), a cosmic-rays detector system aimed to verify and further study the latest advances in t...
The present paper reviews the applications of Raman spectroscopy in dentistry in the past two decades. This technique is considered a highly promising optical modality, widely used for the chemical identification and characterization of molecular str...
A novel surfactant of N–dodecanoyl–N–(2-hydroxyethyl)–β–alanine (coded as C12–EtOH–βAla) was synthesized by modifying the methyl group of N–dodecanoyl–N–methyl–β–a...
The computation of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is a fundamental step in the planning of cancer radiotherapy treatments with accelerated ions. Numerical parameters derived analyzing the dose response of the chosen cell line after irrad...
High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]
A pulsed magnet system has been developed as a new user-friendly sample environment equipment at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. It comprises a vacuum chamber, a 4 K closed-cycle refr...
