Neutrons for Science and Industry — Uppsala Neutron Beam Activities

Abstract

A wide programme on neutron-induced data for various applications is running at the 20-180 MeV neutron beam facility at the The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala. The main research areas are nuclear data for accelerator-driven transmutation of nuclear waste, single-event effects, and dose effects in fast-neutron cancer therapy and aviation environments. In addition, experiments on fundamental nuclear physics are undertaken. Moreover, commercial device testing motivated by single-event effects is a growing activity.
