This study focuses on a fuel cell composed of Lithium Deuteride (LiD) in a spherical geometry, in which isotropic monoenergetic neutrons of 0.025 eV (thermal neutrons) are generated at the center. The objective is to investigate the…

We report a method for coherent control of $\gamma$-photons, enabling the shaping of $\gamma$-ray intensity in nearly arbitrary waveforms. Different intensity waveforms are created by adjusting the motion profile of a resonant absorber (an…

For time projection chambers (TPCs) the accuracy in measurement of track coordinates along the pad row direction deteriorates with the drift distance ($z$): $\sigma_{\rm X}^2 \sim D_{\rm X}^2 \cdot z / N_{\rm eff}$, where $D_{\rm X}$ is the…
