Neutron moderation spectrum considering inelastic scattering

For the first time an analytic expression was obtained for the inelastic neutron scattering law with an isotropic neutron source within the gas model, considering moderating medium temperature as a parameter. The inelastic scattering law is obtained, based on the solution of the kinematic problem of neutron inelastic scattering on a nucleus in laboratory coordinate system (L-system) in general case. I.e. in case not only a neutron but also a nucleus have arbitrary velocity vector in L-system. Analytic expressions are found for the neutron flux density and moderation spectrum in reactor fissile medium, both in case of the elastic scattering law, obtained earlier by the authors, and in case of the inelastic scattering law obtained in this paper. Both elastic and inelastic scattering laws are considered to be dependent on the medium temperature. The obtained expressions for neutron moderation spectra enable reinterpretation of physical nature of the processes that determine the shape of neutron spectrum in a wide energy range.

Impulse source of high energy neutrons emitted by fusion reactions after compression of D-T gas by cumulative detonation waves

We develop the physical model and the system of equations for the impulse neutron source (INS) of high-energy neutrons ($\sim$14 MeV) emitted by fusion reactions during compression of D-T gas by cumulative detonation waves. The system of INS equations includes a system of gas dynamic equations that takes into account the energy transfer by radiation, equations for the radiation flux, the equation of the shock adiabat (the Hugoniot adiabat) for a compressed gas, and the equation for the neutron yield. We perform the INS dynamics simulation for the spherical and cylindrical geometries, and calculate maximum temperatures of D-T plasma, its density and neutron yield in the pulse. The obtained temperature estimates and simulation results show that the thermonuclear fusion temperatures are reached within this approach, and the fusion reactions proceed. Their yield determines the yield of neutrons.

An Alternative Method for Solving Two Problems of the Standard Model

Two problems of the Standard Model, associated with the introduction of non-gauge interactions and with the introduction of an electromagnetic field as a linear combination of fields on which various gauge groups are implemented, are analyzed. It is noticed that the existing model contains $U\left( 1 \right)-$ phase uncertainty of the matrix elements of the raising and lowering generators of the $SU\left( 2 \right)$ group. This uncertainty creates the condition for the additional local $U\left( 1 \right)-$ symmetry of the Standard Model Lagrangian with respect to the choice of various equivalent generator representations of the $SU\left( 2 \right)$ group, which is provided by the electromagnetic field. In this case, due to the different action of the raising and lowering generators on the fields of each generation of leptons and quarks, these fields interact with the electromagnetic field in different ways. It is also shown that considering the multi-particle gauge field a description of the Higgs mechanism can be obtained, free from the shortcomings of the well-known single-particle description, the main of which is the introduction of the non-gauge "phi-four" interaction, that is not reduced to the fundamental one. In the proposed model, the spontaneous symmetry breaking is achieved due to the same fundamental interaction, the mediating particle mass of which it provides.

Mechanical Analogy for the Wave of Nuclear Burning

We consider a model of neutron-nuclear wave burning. The wave of nuclear burning of the medium is initiated by an external neutron source and is the basis for the new generation reactors -- the so-called "traveling-wave reactors". We develop a model of nuclear wave burning, for which it is possible to draw an analogy with a mechanical dissipative system. Within the framework of the new model, we show that two burning modes are possible depending on the control parameters: a traveling autowave and a wave driven by an external neutron source. We find the autowave to be possible for certain neutron energies only, and the wave velocity has a continuous spectrum bounded below.
