Advisers name email phone Maynard S. Dewey mdeweynist.gov 301.975.4843 Jeffrey Scott Nico jeffrey.niconist.gov 301.975.4663 Description We measure neutron beam intensities for thermal and cold neutron beams, and develop methods to advance the accuracy of these measurements toward a goal of ±0.1 % for neutron beam intensities up to 109 neutrons/(cm2 sec). In addition, we make neutron fluence rate measurements for more complex reactor neutron fields and for fast neutron fields from accelerators and isotopic sources. key words Cold neutrons; Neutron beams; Eligibility citizenship Open to U.S. citizens level Open to Postdoctoral applicants Stipend Base Stipend Travel Allotment Supplementation $82,764.00 $3,000.00
