Hello, I am a business student currently collaborating on a technology project whose aim is to find alternative applications for a radiation detector made from artificial diamond.

The main benefits of the detector are:
• Ultra-fast response time
• High durability in really harsh environments (vacuum, radioactive environment, space, cryogenic temperatures)
• Very good signal-to-noise ratio and therefore very precise and reliable measurement
• Broad dynamic range (radioactive particles to UV-light)

Any ideas where it could be used?

Thanks for your help

Hello, no, we come from the same university and both collaborate with Talent program from CERN. However, our projects are slightly different and include different types of radiation detectors.
 
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
