Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Neutron transmission through a zirconium oxide sample containing the radioactive 93Zr isotope was measured by pulsed neutron time of flight. R matrix parameters for some of the resonances up to 6-keV neutron energy were determined. The first resonance, for example, was found at (110.43 ± 0.01) eV with partial widths Гn = (348 ± 9) meV and Гγ = (141 ± 21) meV and quantum numbers Jπ = 2+.
