I am frustrated and can't find a job and it's been over a year or at least 4 months since my last employment, I am going for a masters degree in thermal engineering in the mechanical engineering department, now I've 3 undergrad subjects this term and I am a 20 days apart from the mid-terms...

Egypt...

Now looking back at this thread, it's quite difficult to find an answer, let me rephrase; I am a Nuclear and Radiation Engineer fresh graduate, with the lack of specialty programs in my country, I've been into NDT, the problem is the posts I am getting are managerial (something about being is...

I've recently graduated, my specialty is Nuclear and Radiation Engineering, I am looking into graduate courses in my university, the thing is the department is limited by the available professors, I am also attracted tp the idea of obtaining the degree from the mechanical engineering department...

Out of curiosity may I ask you; why do you want to buy the stuff??

How about a PMT connected to an NaI detector, and a nim with an amplifier and a SCA + counter...

What can be defined as a proper calibration process for such an instrument?

Still learning but sounds good to me... Edit: Okay I've been doing some reading today, and well in fission after the compound nucleus is formed according to the model, it is not about the center, since it becomes "memoryless". IT doesn't remember where the neutron hit it, and if that's...

:smile: yeah i know the center is the center, but i meant i can't pin point that center, and hence maybe i can't aim for a symmetric fission. Forget it if it sounds ridiculous. Understood... Thanks.

That's what i meant, exactly. This makes sense, but i still don't get it, i mean it's not as simple as hitting a board, where you can hit your target or get some deviation... Where's that center?? Does the shell model explain this?? OR why would the neutron spin make it necessarily...

First of all thanks for the reply... I meant energies a lot higher than 1 Mev, with increasing energies the probability for symmetric fission gets higher... But can we get deeper, i mean what are these effects that leads to that fact?? A

I mean of course at low energies...

Why fissions are mostly asymmetric rather than symmetric??

Thanks for your help Turbo, I finally got to meet my professor today, showed him my worksheet and he was very happy, frowned(he never smiles) and told me "Excellent work, i didn't expect that."And then he added: "But there are of course technical errors." I said: "Ofcourse." ( The less mistakes...

Thank you astronuc, that pdf was helpfull too (it was a good read).
