The accurate and robust reconstruction of neutron spectra is essential for various nuclear applications, ranging from reactor environments to other neutron fields [1,2]. Unlike gamma-ray spectroscopy, the deconvolution of a neutron spectrum relies on solving a complex inverse problem, which is generally addressed by using various unfolding algorithms [3,4,5]. Such algorithms often require some...

The European Spallation Source (ESS), expected to start its scientific program in 2027, will be the world's most powerful neutron source. This facility demands advanced systems for accurate beam monitoring and diagnostics. To meet these requirements, dedicated Ionization chamber Beam Monitors (I-BMs) have been developed, specifically designed to operate at ESS. This work will present both...

Fluorine, one of the lightest elements in nature, is a chemically reactive element that is used in many technological and industrial applications. Natural fluorine is monoisotopic, with one stable isotope, 19F. It can be found in a wide variety of materials such as batteries, metals, polymers, ceramics, geological and biological samples. These characteristics render fluorine especially...

Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) is a group of least-destructive techniques employing MeV ion beams to determine the composition and depth profile of materials. Particularly $^3$He beams come up with certain advantages. The most crucial ones are that the Q-values of $^3$He-induced reactions on most light isotopes are very high and that no special radiation safety precautions are required. In addition,...

The $^{18}$O(d,α$_{0-3}$)$^{16}$N reactions were studied by measuring the differential cross sections over the deuteron beam energy range E$_{d,lab}$=1470–2160 keV, at backward detection angles of 120° to 170° with a 10° step. The target used was a thin Ta$_{2}$O$_{5}$ layer (areal density 326×10$^{15}$ at/cm$^{2}$), highly enriched in $^{18}$O, produced by controlled progressive anodization...

One of the primary Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) techniques employed for the determination of sample composition and depth profile analysis is Time of Flight – Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ToF – ERDA). The silicon-based detectors (SSB) are used to conventionally record the energy of the recoiled particles that are analyzed following the implementation of the specific technique. The quality of...

The study of half-lives in the region of isotopes around A=180 is of particular importance, as nuclei in this mass region provide opportunities for investigating both fundamental and applied properties of nuclear matter. The isotopes examined in the present work are the unstable isotopes of ytterbium with A=177 and A=178, which undergo β-decay to the corresponding lutetium isobars (177,178Lu)....
