Precise proton beam takes aim at cancer

LANSCE research

Collaborative work by Intelligence & Space Research (ISR)- and Physics (P)- Division researchers recognized as outstanding presentation by the Nuclear & Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) awards committee. The work, “Energy-dependent single-event effects in power MOSFETs from a broad-spectrum neutron beam,” by Joshua Pritts (lead author, ISR-3), Steve Wender (P-2), Jeffrey George (ISR-1), Thomas Fairbanks (ISR-4), and John O’Donnell (P-2),” was named the Outstanding Data Workshop Presentation for the 2020 NSREC. In the presentation the researchers demonstrated an approach to extract the energy-dependent single-event-effect cross sections from a broad-spectrum pulsed neutron beam using time-of-flight techniques. The work relied on the unique capabilities of the ICE House at LANSCE. The paper will be cited in the 2021 April issue of Transactions on Nuclear Science.
