Indagini EPR su legni moderni e antichi
2009
La tecnica EPR e'stata applicata allo studio di legni moderni ed antichi. I legni deteriorati mostrano un segnale EPR molto piu'intenso di quelli non deteriorati. Questo risultato puo' essere spiegato dall'aumento dei radicali liberi nei campioni deteriorati.

MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF THE RESPONSE OF ESR DOSIMETERS TO NEUTRON BEAMS
2009
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is extensively used in gamma photon dosimetry. It relies on the detection of the signal from free radicals (paramagnetic species) produced after sample irradiation. Organic materials, such as alanine and ammonium tartrate, are widely used for dosimeter preparation, thanks to the good photon sensitivity and tissue equivalence of such compounds. However, the low neutron cross section of their nuclei does not make them suitable for neutron dosimetry. Thanks to its very high neutron capture cross section and to the high Linear Energy Transfer of released particles, even small additions of gadolinium will yield large sensitivity enhancements of the dosi…
