FOREWORD
For NCBJ the year 2013 was a time of intensive capacity building and important scientific
achievements. Being the largest research institute in Poland is a challenge, becoming the best is
our goal. According to the SCImago1 rankings we have achieved this goal in the category of
“normalized impact” accounting for reviewed publications and their citations. We are proud to
be number one in Poland and we are not ashamed to be number 156 in the world. This was
achieved thanks to 600 papers and more than 9800 citations giving us a Hirsch index equal to
115.
Some of these papers are related to our activities in experiments with the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN, notably those rewarded with the Nobel prize for the discovery of the Higgs
boson. We have also participated in the discovery of neutrino oscillations by the T2K experiment
and the discovery of extragalactic cosmic rays by the Kascade-Grande collaboration.
The last two successes reflect the expansion of NCBJ's research into astroparticle physics,
cosmology and space research. Recently, prof. Leszek Roszkowski, supported by a “Welcome”
grant from the Polish Science Foundation, established a group of researchers exploiting the
impact of LHC results on our knowledge of the Universe. Several papers published by this group
received important attention in the scientific world, so we have chosen it together with a new
result on CP violation obtained by prof. Marek Szczekowski and dr Artur Ukleja from the LHCb
experiment as the “NCBJ achievement of the year”.
Two prominent recognitions were awarded to prof. Adam Sobiczewski. He became an
Ordinary Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and a Full Member of the Polish Academy
of Arts and Sciences. Prof. Ryszard Sosnowski celebrated the Renewal of his PhD by the
University of Warsaw, the equivalent of Doctor of Science Honoris Causa given by his Alma
Mater.
The successes of our senior professors have encouraged the younger generation to put
themselves forward. Kajetan Różycki was chosen as chair of the Nuclear Cogeneration Working
Group of the European Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform. Dr Michał Heller,
already with 500 citations of his papers on the quark-gluon plasma, obtained second place in the
top-list “Poles with verve”. Dr Jakub Mielczarek with 400 citations in quantum cosmology
reached the final of the “Polityka” journal scientific awards. Piotr Laskowski and dr Karol
Wawrzyniak have been raised by the Ministry of Science to the elite group of “Top 500
Innovators”. With all this activity, in NCBJ we do not need to be afraid about the generation gap
any more!
It is important to note that these ambitious youngsters are involved in both basic and applied
research. They have contributed very significantly to the success of the “Accelerators and
Detectors” project developing radiation based devices for medical and security applications.
Among them are accelerators for radiotherapy: the highly specialized COLINE, INTRALINE
intraoperative and InLine PN50 for brachytherapy, as well as security systems: CANIS for cargo
screening and SWAN to check for malicious content in luggage. Other applications of radiation
developed recently by NCBJ are an ionizing chamber for dosimetry in radiotherapy and devices
to measure the composition of cement and the copper concentration in ore deposits.
Commercial applications of technologies developed by NCBJ are becoming an increasingly
important part of the institute's income, reaching 60% in 2013. Most of this comes from
radioisotope production for medical, industrial and scientific applications. The Maria reactor
supplied 18% of the global market for 99Mo, which is used in 80% of medical procedures with
radioisotopes. Working for 20 weeks in 2013 Maria served 2 million patients in Poland and

abroad. Our Radioisotope Centre POLATOM now exports a number of products to 78 countries
worldwide. And there is more to come. New highlights are vanadium capsules with 75Se sources
for industrial applications. IntraPol and LutaPol precursors based on 90Y and 177Lu isotopes,
awarded prizes at the Brussels Innovation Trades Fair in 2012, have just been submitted for
approval by the healthcare authorities. Looking to the future a laboratory for preclinical tests
using small animals was commissioned in January, fully financed by POLATOM income.
Both basic and applied research are often driven by projects awarded by various funding
agencies. In 2013 NCBJ participated in 7 projects of the 7th European Framework Programme,
27 grants from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, 13 grants from the National
Centre of Science and 12 grants from the National Centre for Research and Development. It is
worth mentioning the coordinating role of NCBJ in the Euratom project NC2I-R (Nuclear
Cogeneration Industrial Initiative – Research). We have just begun intensive work on proposals
for the new EU financing period Horizon 2020 and structural fund programmes.
Participation in international projects is crucial to the further development of our
competences and it is an important investment in human resources. NCBJ now employs 1073
people, including 56 professors and 117 PhDs. We also have 22 PhD students. We have made
efforts to improve the working environment at our centre in Świerk. A new canteen, “Bar-56”
was opened, and the personnel of our health centre has been increased. We acquired two new
buses, so our fleet now consists of 28 buses and 5 vans. The “Multisport” programme became
available to our employees. A football team representing NCBJ initiated its career in a charity
tournament in Warsaw.
An important part of NCBJ's mission is education and public communication in nuclear
science and technology. We organized the VI edition of the International School of Nuclear
Power, which attracts about 200 participants each year. Our Training and Education Division
took part in the Science Festival and the Scientific Picnic in Warsaw. About 8000 high school
students visited our centre in 2013. The competition “The paths of physics” attracted 134
students from 47 schools. We continued the “School with a future” programme working with
technical schools to prepare and introduce curricula for nuclear technicians.
A lot of information was provided to the media, resulting in about 3500 news items and
articles, 10% of them in the press, on radio and TV. We launched the NCBJ internal bulletin
“Nuclear Re(d)actor”, having in mind that the thousand or so NCBJ employees are a thousand
ambassadors for nuclear technologies in society.
Renovation and construction work continued for the Technology Park, Computing Centre,
new laboratories and new administration building. The year 2014 should see the end of these
investments changing the overall picture of NCBJ Świerk from a relic of the fifties of the last
century to a modern research centre, one of the best in this region of Europe.

9. ACCELERATORS AND DETECTORS PROJECT IN NCBJ
In 2013, the project ‘Development of specialized
systems based on accelerators and detectors of ionizing
radiation in medical therapy and in detection of
hazardous materials and wastes’ (with the short name
‘Accelerators and Detectors’) carried out by the
National Centre for Nuclear Studies and co-financed by
the European Regional Development Fund reached its
final phase. Three medical demonstrators dedicated to
oncology treatments have been assembled and prepared
for final tests:
• Multi-energy accelerator for advanced radiotherapy,
COLINE;
• Mobile Medical Electron Accelerator for IORT
Applications, INTRALINE;
• The INLINE PN50 system for brachytherapy of
breast cancer.
Similarlys two other devices:
• Interlaced Energy Cargo Scanning System, CANIS;
• Neutron Activation Analyser, SWAN, have been
constructed and tested within the project for
homeland security applications.
In 2013, work on the accelerator for advanced
radiotherapy, Coline, was focused on the final design
and manufacture of an advanced model. In parallel, the
implementation of highly specialized dynamic treatment
techniques was continued on the first model of the
accelerator. All components of the accelerator were
manufactured and assembled. The accelerator is now
being prepared for the final functionality tests.
Fig.1. Mobile Medical Electron Accelerator for IORT
Applications, INTRALINE.
The construction of the Mobile Medical Electron
Accelerator for IORT Applications (Fig. 1) and its
preparation for performance tests and commissioning
was completed. The initial setup and preliminary
calibration of the RF and dose distribution
measurements have been performed for various beam
energies. Preliminary dose distribution measurements
were compared to Monte Carlo simulations. Excellent
agreement between measurements and simulations was
found. The accelerator is currently being prepared for
the commercialization process.
The INLINE PN50 system for brachytherapy of
breast cancer was intensively developed in 2013. Works
was focused on improving the radiation stability and
measurements of the dose distribution. The X-ray tube
with spherical anode and two interior monitor detectors
has been assembled and tested.
Reasonable stability of the system has been
achieved. Verification of device parameters according
to applicable medical standards is in progress.
Fig.2. InterlaCed Energy CArgo ScaNnIng System.
The InterlaCed Energy CArgo ScaNnIng System
(Fig. 2) for the inspection of cargo containers using the
high energy X-ray radiography method has been
constructed and tested. The system is based on an
interlaced energy (4MeV/6MeV) linear accelerator
integrated with a detection system equipped with
advanced software solutions. Preliminary radiographic
pictures have been obtained of high quality. It was
shown that the system is able to detect smuggled
materials, like guns and cigarettes. The system is further
optimized in order to obtain the highest quality of
radiographic images.
The neutron activation analysis demonstrator
(SWAN) was assembled and passed a series of
advanced tests aimed at revealing its performance
parameters. Sensitivity and statistical distribution
measurements were performed for various explosive
and toxic materials. The efficient identification
functionality of these materials has been confirmed.
The ‘Accelerators and Detectors’ project has been
prolonged to May 2014 in order to perform advanced
functionality tests and prepare demonstrators for the
commercialization process.
This work was supported by EU Structural Funds,

10. COMPUTING CENTRE AT NCBJ IN ŚWIERK
The year 2013 was critical for the setting up and
development of the Computing Centre at Świerk, when
all the elements of this technical puzzle were gathered
together and began to be assembled into their final shape.
All the subsystems of the Centre: the redundant power
supply, emergency power circuits and generators, fire
monitoring and extinction, building monitoring and
control, computer cooling systems and, the core of the
project, computing systems, disk servers and networking
equipment, are in place.
The computing cluster of CIŚ, although logically
homogenous, consists of two physical parts: the first is
cooled traditionally, with chilled water cooling the air
inside the server cupboards, whereas the second one
makes use of a novel system with hot water flowing in
close vicinity to the electronic cards. The hot-water
cooling is more efficient, and thus environmental
friendly, but the technology is new and no experience
with it over an extended period exists. At the first stage
of installation, the overall computing power amounts to
100 trillion floating-point operations per second
(TFLOPS) and disk space to 1.5 petabytes (PB). Target
numbers, to be achieved during the next 18 months, are
500 TFLOPS and 3 PB.
These already large resources are extensively used
by groups simulating thermo-hydraulic flows in nuclear
power systems, for nuclear security analyses and
physicists and astrophysicists processing large data sets.
Part of the resources, consisting of 300 TB of disk space
and hundreds of processors, is allocated to grid
computing for the Large Hadron Collider experiments at
the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN,
in Geneva. Other groups at CIŚ, concerned with subjects
such as optimization of the distribution of electric power
in networks, medical imaging, environmental simulations
of pollution propagation or flows in porous media,
although they do not consume too many material
resources, do their intensive research using computer
technologies and licensed software.
The photograph shows the front wall of the main
building of CIŚ, covered by an original mural, designed
and painted by a group artists led by Mr. Olaf Cirut.

11. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK
The Science and Technology Park Świerk (PNT
Świerk), funded under the RPO programme contract
RPMA.01.04.00-14-008/10/00 is a major investment
devoted to support of innovative industrial initiatives
and the development of commercial potential in the
Mazovia Voivodship. PNT will be an excellent vehicle
to access the R&D potential of NCBJ and to increase
the competitiveness of the companies participating in it.
PNT Świerk offers a broad range of consulting and
legal services, aimed at facilitating commercialization
of innovative technological solutions. Inventors coming
to PNT may count on effective help in creating
companies, legal advice, strategic and technological
analyses and business plan creation. Help in protecting
intellectual property (IP), for example in obtaining
patents and in the planning of industrialization of IP is
also offered. These services are offered to external
entities (especially companies from the SME sector) on
the basis of de minimis public support. In 2013, PNT
helped in the creation of a spin-off company offering
advanced electronic equipment as well as in licensing
advanced radiation imaging technologies to another
spin-off company.
PNT Świerk is a founding member of the Otwock
New Technologies Cluster, which aims at helping local
industry to organize and take advantage of the research
and development potential of the region.
2013 was an active year in terms of progress of the
PNT project. The conversion of an old building into a
modern dedicated laboratory, office and conference site
has entered its final phase, with construction work
expected to be finished by mid-2014. The new building
will host facilities for companies willing to locate in
Świerk and adequate training and conference facilities,
but even more importantly it will host a set of dedicated
laboratories offering R&D services in broad range of
subjects.
Among them we may list:
Radiation resistant electronics lab – devoted to
testing of existing and newly developed electronics
solutions, designed to operate in high radiation
environments, such as nuclear facilities or space.
The laboratory will be equipped with testing and
manufacturing infrastructure, allowing a complete
product cycle from first breadboards to optimized
prototypes.
Industrial radiography at the microscale – devoted to
studies of various objects (such as electronics chips)
from macro (0.5m) to micro (400nm) scales. In
addition, the lab will be equipped with an industrial
X-ray lamp allowing radiography and quality control
of large scale construction elements.
Ferromagnetics laboratory – devoted to studies of
the application of ferromagnetic materials to
screening of electromagnetic fields, especially in the
GHz range.
MEMS laboratory – devoted to the design and
testing of micro electro-mechanical systems, which
are growing in popularity in measurement systems,
telecommunications or wireless transmission.
Special attention will be paid to the use of MEMS
technologies in high radiation environments.
Nanomechanical tests laboratory – providing
measurements of the surface properties of advanced
materials (such as insulating coatings, thermal or
mechanical barriers) over a wide range of
temperatures (15 to 750 degrees Centigrade). These
tests may be used in automotive, aviation, space,
medical and many other industries.
Radiation material modifications laboratory –
devoted to the creation of new materials via ion
implantation. The materials may be of very varied
types: from rubber to ceramics or metals
Quality and destructive testing lab – equipped with a
thermal chamber with regulated humidity and
mechanical shock station, allowing the completion
of product and component testing, aimed at
improving the quality and minimizing breakdowns
of the tested systems.
All these laboratories will provide services to
industrial partners of the PNT and serve as the basis for
R&D programmes.

12. STRENGHTENING OF THE INNOVATION POTENTIAL OF THE
INSTITUTE IN ŚWIERK FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES
BASED ON IONISING RADIATION 4LABS
The donation from the Regional Operational
Programme for the Mazowieckie voivodship for the
years 2007-2013 will result in spending over 33 mln
zlotys on the necessary renovation and construction
work, modernisation of the infrastructure and the
purchase of research instruments for four laboratories,
hence the name of the project – 4Labs – and building a
new computer network. The realisation of the project
will last until the end of 2014. Implementation of the
4Labs project is about 50%.
The largest changes will affect the Laboratory of
Accelerating Structures, which produces accelerating
units for electrons in medical and industrial accelerators
manufactured by the NCBJ. Due to the grant new
laboratory buildings are under construction.
They include the design department, workshops,
assembly cleanrooms required to obtain ultrahigh
vacuum and the Accelerator Laboratory with so called
bunkers, with shielding against radiation. Also it will be
possible to increase the energy of the manufactured
accelerators from 9 MeV up to 20 MeV. The
Accelerator Laboratory is ready to use. The Office
building is not get ready to use , interior fitting out is
still in progres.
At the Laboratory of Ion Plasma Beams, scientists
are working on modifying the properties of solids by
exposing their surfaces to pulses of hot plasma of
various composition lasting hundreds of nanoseconds.
Using this method, researchers obtained hightemperature resistance to oxidation of stainless steel and
resistance to sulphur compounds. The current
investigations are aimed at producing semiconducting
materials for spintronics, which requires incorporation
of atoms with high magnetic moments in the crystal
lattice. Before the technology can be widely used,
problems with the stability of the plasma source must be
solved. For that reason, besides modernisation of the
laboratory infrastructure, the granted funds will be
employed to improve the plasma gun, especially the
system of gas dosing valves and to purchase instruments
for plasma diagnostics. The Lab is now fully
reconditioned and intensive purchose of scientific
equipment is under way.
The Radiographic Laboratory now operates in
reconditioned
accommodation.
The
Laboratory
conducts research on defectoscopy. X-rays of a few
MeV in energy, emitted from a target bombarded with a
beam of electrons from an accelerator, enable the
detection of defects in castings, construction elements or
closed structures such as vacuum systems with overall
thickness up to several hundreds of millimetres. Within
the 4Labs project the new, higher energy experimental
setup will be assembled. Digital image registration and
computer steering, with the possibility of scanning will
enable examination of large scale objects, real time
viewing of 2D and 3D images and advanced data
analysis.
The Laboratory of Environmental Monitoring is
measures, analyses and models dust pollution of the air.
Particles of dust are picked by the filters, wchich are
subsequently burnt down. The ash is compacted and put
into a cyclotron to perform radiation analysis. The
granted funds will allow the measuring system to be
modernised. The other task is to create advanced
software for the analysis of pollution over large areas
and long periods and enable predictions. Knowledge
about the variation of dust pollution in different areas
will help to eliminate its sources and improve the health
of the inhabitants. The Laboratory operates in fully
reconditioned accommodation.
Support from the 4Labs project will help to
modernise the computer network. Currently its
throughput
is
insufficient,
which
hinders
communication and usage of network versions of
programs for numerical calculations. All these problems
should disappear after building a skeleton network with
throughput as high as 10 Gb/s. It will open the way to a
new range of network services, including education.
The 4Labs project will significantly improve conditions
for economically important scientific research, help the
NCBJ groups to join in international collaborations and
gain access to or develop technologies useful to
industry. One can expect that it will stimulate numerous
original ideas within medicine, materials science or
environmental protection. The granted funds will
enhance the position of the NCBJ, which in future
should bring considerable benefits to the Mazowieckie
Voiewodship and the whole national economy.
Project co-financed by the European Union from
the European Regional Development Fund under the

Overview
The MARIA research reactor operated for ca. 3810 hours on power 18-24 MW in 2013. The reactor was used
first of all to irradiate materials for radioisotope production for OR Polatom and the company Mallinckrodt
Pharmaceuticals and for physical research at the reactor neutron beam ports. Especially important was the reactor
operation within the period January-April to provide the continuation of Mo-99 production for nuclear medicine
when it delivered ca. 16% of the world demand. The reactor core conversion through systematic replacement of high
enriched spent fuel elements by low enriched elements fabricated by AREVA-CERCA has been continuing. With
the aim of obtaining the fuel supply from another producer, in January 2013 test irradiation of fuel of MR-6/485
type fabricated according to Russian methods was launched. In the period June-August the reactor was shut down
due to replacement of the primary pump assemblies for the fuel channel cooling circuit which was a necessary
condition to pursue the full conversion of the reactor core.
The Laboratory for Dosimetry Measurements (within the framework of dosimetry surveillance and radiological
monitoring of the nuclear centre) conducted the following measurements at Świerk:
- threat to individual employes,
- background of gamma radiation,
- internal hazard to persons,
- contamination of the environment.
The most important achievements of the laboratory for Mixed Radiation are as follows:
1. Accomplishment of the ring chamber model.
2. Characterization of the bundle at the BNCT reactor stand LVR-15 and at the H8 horizontal port beam of the
MARIA reactor has been examined.
3. Confirmation of the possibility of measuring the dose in the pulse field of 6 MeV photon radiation using
recombination methods and detectors.
In the Nuclear Power Engineering division a number of projects associated with safety analyses for the MARIA
reactor, fourth generation power reactors and the interaction of nuclear facilities with the environment have been
executed.
The most important of them are:
1. Elaboration of the method to determine the beryllium block fluence based on calculation of concentration sums
of 6Li, 3H, 3E.
2. Study of high temperature reactors (HTGR) including an elaboration of pebble ball bed and neutron models.
3. An analysis of the results of measurements of radionuclide concentrations in the vicinity of Nitric Plants of
“PUŁAWY” S.A. (Zakłady Azotowe “Puławy S.A.).

Overview
There are 58 employees (engineers and technicians) working in the Maria Reactor Operation Unit. The main
activity of this unit is carrying out safe operation of the MARIA research reactor. In 2013 the reactor operated
3180 hours at power levels from 18 MW to 25 MW.
The main activities carried out at the MARIA reactor were focused on:irradiation of target materials in
vertical channels and in the rabbit system:
 irradiation of uranium targets for 99Mo production
 neutron scattering condensed matter studies with neutron beams from the reactor horizontal channel
 neutron radiography studies
 neutron modification of crystals and minerals
 training
Irradiation of target materials such as: TeO2, KCl, Lu2O3, SmCl2, S, Co etc. were performed for the
Radioisotope Centre Polatom and irradiation of uranium targets was performed for Covidien. In addition the
production of the 192Ir seeds used for Intravascular Radiation Therapy and low activity 192Ir source ribbon for
oncology applications were carried out.
The neutron irradiation service utilizing the MARIA reactor also includes the colouring of topaz minerals. The
irradiation of minerals in special channels located outside the reactor core, changes its clear natural state to shades
of blue, thereby increasing the commercial value of the product. Blue topaz is released to the market as a nonradioactive material, conforming to strict international criteria.
The commercial irradiation of uranium plates for 99Mo production was carried out at the MARIA reactor in
2013 within 17 reactor operation cycles. Average activity of 99Mo at the end of irradiation (EOI) obtained from
one irradiation channel was 244 TBq.
An important activity, performed in 2013 was focused on preparation of the technology of irradiation low
enriched uranium plates for 99Mo production, related to the Global Threat Reduction Initiative. Also in relation to
this programme in 2013 the process of conversion of the Maria reactor core to low enriched fuel (enrichment
19.75% in 235U) was carried out. This process is being realised progressively, i.e. the highly enriched fuel of MR-6
type is being replaced, one by one, by low enriched MC-5 fuel, fabricated by the AREVA company.
Realisation of the core conversion programme brought about the necessity to modernise the fuel channel
cooling system. In the period June – September 2013 the old pumps of the primary cooling system were replaced
by the new ones and additionally 3 shutdown pumps were installed.

Overview
The activities of the Radiation Protection Measurement Laboratory are focused on environmental monitoring
and the assessment of radiation exposure of personnel. Scientific interests mostly concern methods of mixed
radiation dosimetry and internal dosimetry.
-
The main tasks of the Laboratory include:
Radiation monitoring of the Świerk Centre and Różan (KSOP) sites,
Surveillance of radiation safety,
Radioactive waste control (especially liquid waste),
Preparedness for radiation protection in emergency conditions,
Development of radiation protection measurements and methods,
Calibration of radiation protection monitoring instruments,
Personal dosimetry,
Sewage and drainage water activity measurements,
Environmental radiation monitoring,
Research in dosimetry (described below).
In 2013 the Radiation Protection Measurement Laboratory continued successfully its activities concerning
improvement of measuring procedures within two domains of the Laboratory which are accredited by the Polish
Centre for Accreditation (PCA), namely:
•
The determination of internal body contamination (whole body counter, thyroid counter and radiological
analysis of excretions) – Accreditation No. AB 567.
•
Calibration of dosimetric instruments - in reference gamma and neutron radiation fields and surface
contamination monitors – Accreditation No. AP 070.
The scientific activities of the Radiation Protection Measurement Laboratory are mostly performed by the
Laboratory of Mixed Radiation Dosimetry (head of laboratory dr. eng. Michał A. Gryziński – e-mail
[email protected] or phone: +48 22 7180157). The research group consists of one professor and four PhDs,
three graduate physicists and two engineers.
-
The main subjects of study concern:
Development of dosimetry methods for hadron therapy, with particular emphasis on boron-neutron capture
therapy (BNCT) and investigation of radiation fields near radiation therapy facilities.
Development of methods for the determination of operational dosimetric quantities and dose distribution vs.
LET in mixed radiation fields, using high-pressure ionization chambers.
Design and construction of recombination ionization chambers and dosimeters.
Investigation of processes of ionization and recombination of ions in gases under pressure up to 5 MPa.
Metrology of mixed radiation fields (including pulsed and high energy fields).
Development of methods for internal contamination dosimetry.
The research work was partly financed by 2 research grants from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher
Education and from the National Centre for Research and Development (Poland).

Overview
In 2013 the research activities in MPD were concentrated on continuing our previous work in the field of studies
of materials expected to be used in a nuclear environment and on the use of nuclear techniques for modification and
analysis of solids. The MRL laboratory of MPD is one of the unique facilities in Poland disposing of the equipment
needed to perform analyses of radioactive materials. The MRL has the Certificate of Testing Laboratory
Accreditation No. AB 025 The Laboratory has also been granted 2nd Degree Approval No LB-038/27 by the Office
of Technical Inspection. It has also the License of the National Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety
Department Nr. 1/93/”MET” for investigation of irradiated materials up to 100Ci. The laboratory was designed for
testing surveillance specimens from a planned nuclear power plant. The hot laboratory consists of an assembly of 12
lead hot cells arranged in a single line. All cells are designed to handle 3700 GBq (100Ci) of 1 MeV gamma emitter.
Each of the cells is equipped with a viewing window and master-slave or tongs manipulators. The hot cells are
connected by a special inert transport system. The assembly of hot cells is equipped with ventilating and active
waste systems.

Among the main research topics carried out in MPD one may list:
X-ray diffraction: structure of safe antidepressive alkaloid aptazepine obtained in first enantioselective synthesis
and topography investigations of crystal lattice defects in ferroelectric niobates with tungsten bronze structure.
Mössbauer spectrometry: hyperfine interactions and magnetic ordering temperature in perovskite-based
multiferroic systems, structural and magnetic transformations in NdMn 2Hx hydrides.
Neutron scattering: magnetic and atomic short range order in Mn0.3Ni0.3Cu0.4 pseudo-binary alloy studied with
neutron elastic scattering, studies of the drying process.
Mechanical properties: studies of strength and hardness of materials used in nuclear engineering, analysis of the
role of irradiation on the functional properties of elastomers.
Corrosion properties: studies of zirconium corrosion in nuclear reactors, modification of oxidation resistance by
using plasma or ion-beam doping of steels.
Doping stainless steel with oxygen reactive elements like Rare Earth Elements (REE) and others for improving
surface oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
Development of new ferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronics.
Studies of the dependence of specific features of plasma surface engineering methods on the layer structure.
Optimisation of thin film Pb photocathodes
In 2013 new equipment has was installed in the MRL of MPD: nanoindentation tester NanoTest “Vantage”
allowing for nanomechanical measurements (nanohardness, scratch, wear, nanofriction) at temperatures varying
from RT to 700 C. The apparatus is equipped with AFM, SPM and optical microscopes giving the possibility of
sample inspection and precise selection of the place of indent. The high temperature platform contains a gas supply
system making possible measurements in controlled atmospheres. The acquisition of the NanoTest system
constitutes an important step forward in the planned specialization of the MPB on structural materials for future
generations of nuclear reactors.
Apart from smaller research projects carried out in MPD one should mention two large-scale projects currently
handled by MPD staff: construction of the Neutral Beam Injector system for theW7-X stellarator in IPP Greifswald
(Polish in-kind contribution to the W7-X project) and the 4Labs project. Total value of these projects exceeds
58 mln PLN.
The researchers of MPB published 75 scientific publications in 2013.

Overview
The Materials Research Laboratory is engaged in research work covering many aspects of materials
engineering. Experiments are conducted on structural materials and their welded joints, including the examination of
irradiated materials. All work is carried out according to the Quality Management System.
From 1995, the Materials Research Laboratory has had the Certificate of Testing Laboratory Accreditation
No. AB 025 valid until 17.07.2017. The Laboratory has also been granted 2nd Degree Approval No LB-038/27 by
the Office of Technical Inspection. It also has the License of the National Radiological Protection and Nuclear
Safety Department Nr. 1/93/”MET” for investigation of irradiated materials up to 100Ci. The equipment of the MRL
is continually supplemented.
The MRL incorporates a hot laboratory for irradiated structural materials. This laboratory was designed for
testing surveillance specimens from a planned nuclear power plant. The hot laboratory consists of an assembly of
12 lead hot cells arranged in a single line. All cells are designed to handle 3700 GBq (100Ci) of 1 MeV gamma
emitter. Each of the cells is equipped with a viewing window and master-slave or tongs manipulators. The hot cells
are connected by a special inert transport system. The assembly of hot cells is equipped with ventilating and active
waste systems. In 2013 the dosimetric system as well as the lighting installation in the hot laboratory were
completely modernized.
One of the biggest steps towards a modern and innovative laboratory was the organization in 2013 of two
separate laboratories:
- Laboratory for non-destructive testing
- Laboratory for nano-mechanical investigations.
Currently the MRL is involved in research on neutron irradiation and hot temperature plasma influence on the
mechanical and structural properties of tungsten. This project is implemented within the framework of the Strategic
Research Programme “Technologies supporting safe nuclear energy development in Poland”. In 2013 another
project realized within the framework of the same programme was completed “An analysis of the possibilities and
the criteria for Polish industry participation in the development of nuclear energy”.
The laboratory also performs other investigations according to its statutory duty, such us investigations of the
mechanical properties of zirconium and its alloys. The MRL is also engaged in preparing expert opinions and
technical reports on materials in relation to licenses of the Polish Centre of Accreditation and Office of Technical
Inspection. In the past year the a number of investigations ordered by the MARIA reactor were completed i.e:
-
measurement of the oxide layer thickness on the surfaces of irradiated fuel elements,
determination of the fissure depth on the surface of fuel elements,
determination of the expansion gap of graphite bocks after long time exploitation.
In 2013 the XX. seminar entitled Materials Investigation for the Power Industry was organized in Zakopane.
The seminar was attended by about 40 participants, of which two participants represented Sweden and two Russia.

Overview
The Department is involved in a wide range of research topics on the microscopic structure and dynamics of
condensed matter systems. The techniques employed permit studies to be performed from the atomic level to
macroscopic phenomena. Methods based on the interaction of radiation with matter comprise X-ray (XRD and
synchrotron radiation), gamma radiation (Mössbauer spectrometry) as well as thermal neutrons (neutron scattering
and neutron radiography). Some specialized techniques such as high pressure systems, rapid quenching and the solgel method have also been applied. A few theoretical and computational studies on uranium compounds have also
been carried out.
The Department consists of four laboratories:
-
Regional Laboratory of Neutronography,
Mössbauer Spectrometry Laboratory,
X-ray Diffraction Laboratory,
High Pressure Laboratory.
There are 19 employees with three full professors and 9 researchers with doctoral degree.

Overview
In 2013 research activities in Division FM2 were concentrated on continuing our previous studies in the field of
plasma physics applications in materials engineering science and solid state physics. Our main topics of research
activity were as follows:
1. Doping stainless steel with oxygen reactive elements like Rare Earth Elements (REE) and others for improving
surface oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
2. Development of new ferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronics.
3. Studies of the dependence of specific features of plasma surface engineering methods on Layers structure.
4. Optimisation of thin film Pb photocathodes.
This year we still focused on the use of yttrium as an active element incorporated into 316L stainless steel using
High Intensity Pulse Plasma Beams (HIPPB). The samples were cut from 316L commercial austenitic stainless
steel. The samples were modified using high intensity (106-108 W/cm2) pulsed plasma beams generated in a Rod
Plasma Injector (RPI). The use of high intensity plasma beams enabled the formation of
a Y-enriched layer with a thickness of several hundreds of nanometres.
A ferromagnetic semiconductor operating at room temperature with ferromagnetism (FM) controlled by an
electronic system (charge carriers) is a dream of researchers interested in the development of spintronics. One of the
possible ways to manufacture such a material is to implant a standard semiconductor or semiconducting compound
with a transition metal (TM) and to remove the radiation induced crystallographic disorder by
a suitable annealing technique. Zinc oxide doped with cobalt is a prospective material in which high temperature FM
is predicted theoretically. FM was detected in ZnO but its interpretation is far from complete. The results of various
groups are inconsistent with one another and depend to a great extend on the preparation technology. The origin of
FM is claimed to be TM impurity-related, TM and intrinsic defect-related and even purely intrinsic defect-related.
Recently we have focused our attention on novel magnetron sputtering (MS) technology. The matter is to use
gas injection as a tool for initiating and effectively controlling the plasma generation process during the deposition
of layers by magnetron sputtering (PMS GIMS - Gas Injection Magnetron Sputtering.
The Impulse Plasma Deposition (IPD) technique is the only method of plasma surface engineering (among plasmabased technologies) which allows a synthesis of layers upon a cold unheated substrate and ensures good adhesion.
We studied the plasma impacts upon a substrate surface during the IPD process [1,2]. In our experiment the
substrate was exposed to pulsed N2/Al plasma streams during the synthesis of AlN layers. Application of optical
emission spectroscopy was used to monitor the of phenomena which take place during the IPD synthesis of the
layers, in particular the registration of the effects of pulsed plasma interactions with the substrate (sputtering /
evapouration of coatings / substrates).
A thin film Pb photocathode, planned to be used in a superconducting electron linac, has been prepared by high
vacuum arc deposition using the compact deposition system constructed in late 2011. A 1μm thick film was
deposited onto the back wall of a modified electron gun resonator. This film was 0.5 μm in thickness which is
thicker than that prepared previously. It was expected to improve the injector performance. Our studies showed the
advantage of plasma melting methods and led us to the conclusion that further optimization should be made with the
use of two arc systems, and a post-processing method was used to optimize the thickness and smoothness of the
cathodes.
In 2013 the Plasma/Ion Beam Technology Division employed 21 persons, eight members constituted the
scientific staff, four belonged to the research-technical staff, and the rest constituted the technical and administrative
staff.

Overview
The scientific activity of DBP in 2013 is presented in detail in the sections devoted to its four Divisions: the
Nuclear Physics Division (BP1), Theoretical Physics Division (BP2), High Energy Physics Division (BP3) and
Cosmic Ray Physics Division (BP4). Here I shall present only a short overview referring to the specialized sections
presented by the Divisions for details and further references. The main results selected as achievements of the whole
Institute to be presented to a broad public are attached separately. They are:
-
The Higgs boson mass and 1 TeV higgsino dark matter in SUSY by the BAYESFIT group led by
Prof. L. Roszkowski from BP2;
-
The search for CP violation asymmetries in three-body decays of charm mesons in the LHCb experiment by
Prof. M. Szczekowski and dr A. Ukleja from BP3 (both are members of the LHC-b experiment at CERN).
The Nuclear Physics Division (BP1) concentrated on low energy nuclear physics (mostly in collaboration with
theHeavy Ion Laboratory, University of Warsaw), high energy nuclear physics (connected with the Hermes
collaboration at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg and with the large-scale international
collaboration PANDA in the FAIR project) and on materials science and its applications (with special emphasis on
the coherent description of radiation damage buildup for compound materials). Actually, this group will move in
2014 to the Materials Physics Department (DFM) of NCBJ. The Hermes collaboration will finish its formal
existence at the end of 2014 and it is planned that already in the middle of 2014 its members will reinforce our
COMPASS collaboration group in BP3. To reinforce the nuclear physics studies in BP1, NCBJ hired (initially for
one year but with the possibility for an indefinite contract) dr Henryk Mach from Sweden as a visiting professor. It
is planned that in 2014 he should take over BP1 as its leader. In addition, two nuclear physicists from the
Department of Nuclear Techniques & Equipment (DTJ) have moved to BP1. The most important achievement of
BP1 in 2013 was work by N. Keeley on Limited Asymmetry Dependence of Correlations from Single Nucleon
Transfers published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013) 122503.
The Theoretical Physics Department (BP2), working in close collaboration with experimental groups in CERN,
GSI, Kamiokande and Frascatti and in collaborations with the Universities of Warsaw, Kielce, Paris, Liege, London
and such institutes as PAN, CERN, GSI, JINR, RIKEN, concentrated on the following subjects: properties of heavy
and superheavy nuclei; properties of nuclear matter and nuclear collisions; exotic atoms; phenomenology of
collisions of hadrons and leptons; cosmology, nonlinear effects in extended media and the Bayesian approach to
multi-parameter problems in physics and beyond. In all of them interesting results were achieved. The work by the
Bayesian group was already mentioned above as one of the two main achievements of NCBJ in 2013. In addition to
this, one should also mention two other outstanding pieces of work (of only slightly less importance) performed in
BP2, namely: M. Kowal and J. Skalski on Eight-dimensional calculations of the third barrier in 232Th published in
Phys. Rev. C87 (2013) 044308 (and selected by the editors of PRC as an Editors’ Suggestion) and L. Szymanowski
on Confronting Mueller-Navelet jets in NLL BFKL with LHC experiments at 7 TeV published in JHEP 1305 (2013)
096. In 2013 BP2 obtained one new collaborator (from DTJ) working in nuclear physics and one in nonlinear
physics.
The High Energy Physics Division`s (BP3) activities concentrated mostly on the LHC experiments ALICE,
CMS, and LHCb and on neutrino physics. Because of the scheduled shutdown of LHC accelerator no new data were
collected, all groups analyzed previously taken data (what resulted in a numer of valuable results presented in many
publications) and very actively participated in upgrading their detectors. The most important for the CMS group was
the final confirmation of discovery of the Higgs boson mentioned in 2012. In what concerns our LHC-b group it
must be mentioned (and stressed) that it has finally published the collaboration (Phys. Lett B Vol. 721 (2013) 24). It
was chosen as one of the two biggest achievements of NCBJ in 2013, as mentioned before. As for ALICE group, the
first measurements of the so called direct photons produced in collision processes should be noticed. Interesting
results were also obtained also by groups connected with the COMPASS experiment in CERN and by the WASA
detector group. Special emphasis should be put on the work of our Neutrino Physics group performer in the frame of
K2K collaboration, the most important experiment in the neutrino research at present. In this respect the nomination
Annual Report 2013

of dr J. Łagoda from NCBJ as coordinator of one of the key analysis must be noticed. Also one must notice the
syccessful observation of the υe appearance (Phys. Rev. D Vol. 88 (2013) 032002), and the precise measurement of
the so called 23 mixing angle (Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 111 (2013) 211803), which are the one of the critical milestones
for the future progres on the neutrino physics research. The Astrophysics Section participated in several
international projects like VIPERS or the Pi of the Sky Project.
The Cosmic Ray Physics Division (BP4) was mainly involved in research on high energy Cosmic Rays (their
nature, sources and interactions with the Earth) in collaboration with the KASKADE-Grande experiment (which has
finished data-taking but is still working on their interpretation). Work with the JEM-EUSO collaboration preparing
a new experiment based on the International Space Station has continued. The main achievement of BP4 in 2013
was the completion (and successful transfer to the collaboration) of the special power supply unit to be used in the
pilot EUSO-Balloon experiment to be launched soon. The BP4 group is also participating in the preparation of an
experiment with the satellite gamma ray detector POLAR which will measure the X-ray polarisation from Gamma
Ray Bursts.

Overview
Our scientific activities in 2013 concentrated on three subjects: low energy nuclear physics, high energy nuclear
physics, and materials science.
•
The low energy nuclear reactions group continued its various international collaborations during 2013, working
with groups from CEA Saclay (funded by a COPIGAL grant), IPN Orsay and LPC Caen in France, INFN
Padova/Legnaro and INFN Catania in Italy, The University of Ioannina in Greece and The Open University in
the United Kingdom. A total of seven articles in refereed journals plus three contributions to conference
proceedings were published by members of the group. Highlights include an article in Physical Review Letters,
F. Flavigny et al., “Limited Asymmetry Dependence of Correlations from Single Nucleon Transfer,” Phys. Rev.
Lett. 110 (2013) 122503 and the successful defence by Dr. I. Strojek of her thesis, “Projectile structure effects in
reactions induced by 20Ne”.
•
In September 2013 the Fast Timing research group was created, headed by prof. H. Mach. The group intends to
study low energy nuclear structure by means of ultra fast time-delayed spectroscopy. The group has joined the
FATIMA collaboration utilizing this technique in basic research and the ASTARTE collaboration which utilizes
time-delayed methods in medical applications, namely in the development of Time-of-Flight - Positron Emission
Tomography (TOF-PET). Moreover, the group is part of the IDS collaboration building a new experimental
station at ISOLDE at CERN. Two experimental proposals on fast timing were approved by the ISOLDE
programme committee to be run in 2014: the international collaboration IS579, with a key role played by the
BP1 group, will measure quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom in neutron-rich 150,151Ba, while IS590 will
probe nature of the 0+ and 2+ states in 68Ni.
•
The group involved in the Hermes collaboration at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg
has continued the analysis of Spin Density Matrix Elements and ω vector meson production and ρ meson
production on N, Ne, Kr, and Xe targets. Preliminary results were presented at the DIS 2013 conference in
Marseille and INPC 2013 in Florence. A draft of a paper on ω vector meson production is in preparation. The
results indicate a large contribution from unnatural parity exchange processes. The same group is continuing an
analysis of Δ resonance decayinto the lepton pair +e –e at the WASA experiment. The angular distribution of
the decay products of the virtual photon is studied in order to establish the polarization states of the photon.
•
Prof. B. Zwięgliński and dr D. Melnychuk are involved in the large-scale international collaboration PANDA
(antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt) in the FAIR project. In 2013 their activity concentrated on simulation of
particle tracking, emitted in the forward direction, with the GEM detector (gas-electron multiplier) and planning
and construction of the slow control system for the hydrogen jet target for the PANDA detector. (in collaboration
with Ing. A. Chłopik from department TJ-4 of NCBJ).
•
The Microanalysis Group was involved in the following topics in materials research:
- characterization of single crystals and epitaxial layers of modern semiconductor materials using Ion
Beam Analysis
- study of the mechanism of defect formation and transformations in ion bombarded crystals
- development of the Monte Carlo simulation code McChasy for ion channelling.
Materials studied are modern materials for electronics like ZnO and TiO 2, and nuclear materials like powellite
CaMoO4.
Additional financial support has been granted for four research projects:
1. Project SPIRIT TNA-207 in collaboration with KUL (Belgium): cPIXE and cRBS studies of transition metal
implanted and plasma pulse annealed compound semiconductors.
Annual Report 2013
82
RBS/C, and C/PIXE investigations of ZnO, and GaN samples implanted with Co and Mn ions were performed
for determination of dopant atom concentration and their lattice location.
2. Project SPIRIT TNA-213: collaboration with HZDR (Germany): Investigation of the mechanism of defect
accumulation in Ar irradiated ZnO.
3. Project ZNOLUM in the framework of the PBS (NCBiR) series: Light emitting ZnO photonic structures
implanted with RE ions. It is carried out by a consortium of three institutes (IF PAN, NCBJ and ITME) with the
aim to develop modern and inexpensive white light sources.
4. NCBJ young scientist project (P. Jóźwik): Defect transformations in Ar-ion bombarded ZnO.
From 01.01.2014 the Microanalysis Group was transferred to the Division of Plasma Ion Beam Technology in
the Departments of Materials Science.

Overview
The Theoretical Physics Department consists of 30 physicists and 5 PhD students working on different aspects
of low & high energy, plasma & nonlinear physics as well as on general problems of quantization of particle
dynamics, on astrophysics and cosmology. Close collaboration with experimental groups in CERN (COMPASS and
ALICE) and in other laboratories (GSI, DUBNA, GANIL) should also be mentioned. Results of our scientific
activity in 2013 were presented in 190 publications (including the ALICE & COMPASS colaborations). Our results
were also presented at numerous seminars of all types in Poland and abroad.
-
Our research concentrated on:
properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei
properties of nuclear matter and nuclear collisions
exotic atoms
phenomenology of collisions of hadrons and leptons
cosmology
nonlinear effects in extended media.
Bayesian approach to multi-parameter problems in physics and beyond.
Of special relevance and interest in 2013 are the following:
- Some exact solutions to the Lighthill Whitham Richards Payne traffic flow equations.
- Bayesian implications of current LHC supersymmetry and dark matter detection searches for constrained
MSSM.
- Examination of hyper-deformation in actinide nuclei.
- Quantum states of the bouncing universe.
- Evaluation of masses & fission barriers of heaviest nuclei.
- Evolution in bouncing quantum cosmology.
- Studies of exclusive production processes of elementary particles within QCD factororization.
- Timelike and spacelike deeply virtual Compton scattering at next-to-leading order
- Q-scaling in high energy production processes.
Collaborations with several universities and institutes have been maintained (e.g. the Universities of Warsaw,
Kielce, Paris, Liege, London and institutes like: PAN, CERN, GSI, GANIL, JINR, RIKEN).

Overview
The Department is organized in three divisions: the Accelerator Physics Section, the Neutrino Physics Section
and the Astrophysics Section.
The Accelerator Section members participate in large international collaborations at CERN (LHC accelerator,
ALICE, CMS, LHCb experiments), SPS (COMPASS) and COSY (Juelich).
The CMS team continued work on studying the Higgs boson decays into a pair of tau leptons. One PhD thesis
dealing with this subject (T. Frueboes) was completed during 2013. Such analyses broaden the discovery scope of
the CMS providing information important for the establishment of the newly discovered particle's nature. Another
domain is the continuation of the search for Heavy Stable Charged Particles predicted by various extensions of the
Standard Model. The work was basically directed towards adaptation of the triggering system required by the future
operation mode of the LHC. The Warsaw group is responsible for the first level muon trigger and is currently
working on its upgrade to obtain better performance during data taking after the current LHC shutdown. There is
also a subgroup working on Heavy Ion physics within CMS.
The ALICE group is main interest is of course Heavy Ion physics. The results concern principally the global
characteristics of HI interaction, with special stress being put on the identification of produced particles, including
strange and charmed ones. These characteristics are important for understanding the differences between pp and
nucleus-nucleus interactions. An important item is the reconstruction of the pi0 meson spectra from the
electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS. A novel method of data unfolding has been proposed and it was the main
subject of the doctoral thesis of P. Kurashvili.
The LHCb team continued theit physics analyses of CP violation effects and charm physics. In particular, their
result on the D meson decaying into three pions is very interesting and it was recognized among the achievements of
NCBJ. Among other important results of LHCb the Bs decay into muons was observed, one of the important tests of
the Standard Model.
The COMPASS group continued studies of gluon polarization, and worked on the preparation of further studies
of generalized parton distributions.
Low energy studies, performed by the WASA detector group, continued searches for rare decays. In his PhD
thesis M. Berłowski searched for the so-called "dark photon" in eta meson decays providing new limits on its
production cross section.
Studies are also being conducted on data from "old" experiments – namely ZEUS at the HERA proton-electron
machine, where J/Psi production is being studied.
The Neutrino Physics Section members analyzed data from the long-baseline neutrino experiment T2K. New
results on the neutrino oscillation, providing estimations of the θ13 parameter were obtained. The observation of
electron-type neutrinos in the muon-neutrino beam is one of the main interesting results. Participation in the
NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS is also pursued.
The Astrophysics Section members participate in many projects. They take part in a large survey of galaxies the VIPERS project within the ESA agency. One of main interests is the "Pi of the Sky" which was started a few
years back in our Institute. Current activities are concentrated at the "old" site in Chile, but new telescopes are being
installed in Spain as well.
In 2013 Department members co-authored 390 publications in refereed journals and 11 popular publications.
They presented 39 invited talks at international conferences.
13 students pursued their PhD studies under the supervision of Department members and two of them obtained
PhD degrees in 2013.

Overview
The Department of Cosmic Ray Physics in Łódź is involved in basic research in the high energy Cosmic Ray
field. Cosmic Rays are energetic particles from outside the Solar System. Most studies of Cosmic Rays address the
following fundamental problems:
-
the nature of the physical and astrophysical processes responsible for the high energies of the particles
-
experimental search for sources of Cosmic Rays
-
studies of the astrophysical conditions at the acceleration sites
-
properties of high energy particle interactions at very high energies.
Presentation of Cosmic Ray registration to high school students has become a popular way to introduce particle
physics detectors and elementary particle detection techniques to young people. We organize a workshop in Łódź on
particle physics for high school students. This is part of the international activity: IPPOG's Masterclasses – Hands
on Particle Physics.
Energetic Cosmic Rays produce cascades of particles in the atmosphere, called Extensive Air Showers (EAS).
Measuring EASs and their properties is the main means of studying experimentally very high energy Cosmic Rays:
-
The satellite experiment JEM-EUSO will observe EASs from the International Space Station. The main goal is
to find Sources of the highest energy Cosmic Rays. JEM-EUSO will collect a large number of events since it
will observe a large area of the atmosphere. We participate in the preparation of hardware (HV power
suppliers) for the mission and for high altitude balloon tests (EUSO-Balloon).
-
We have designed, developed and built an engineering model of a high voltage power supply unit for the
satellite gamma ray detector POLAR. The detector will measure X-ray polarisation from Gamma Ray Bursts.
-
The KASCADE-Grande addresses experimentally the problems of mass composition and EAS development in
the atmosphere in the energy range 1E15-1E18 eV. Knowledge of the mass composition will contribute to the
development of hadronic interaction models and the search for Cosmic Ray astrophysical sources. The
interaction models in the simulation code CORSIKA play an essential role in the interpretation of data. These
are studied experimentally by measuring the EAS lateral distribution of soft and muon components, and EAS
muon directions. The LOPES Collaboration in KIT – Karlsruhe develops radio techniques for EAS
measurements in Karlsruhe. We have participated in both of these experiments since the beginning.
-
Locally in Łódź we concentrate on methodological studies of the detection of neutrons and the interpretation of
multiple neutron registrations in an underground laboratory. We have measured the neutron background at the
deep underground laboratory in the Slanic salt mine in Romania.
Examining the EAS data it is possible to study some properties of very high energy interactions. LHC detectors
would verify models used in EAS simulations.
In the area of high energy particle physics the Department participates in the ZEUS experiment at DESY
(Hamburg, Germany), and in the WASA @ COSY Collaboration in Juelich, Germany.

Overview
In 2013 most of department’s activities were related to completion of work within the Accelerators and
Detectors (A&D) project where five technology demonstrator: three medical accelerators as well as a neutron
activation analyser and X-ray radiography system - reached their mounting or testing phase. Five divisions were
involved in the final preparation of the demonstrators, their promotion and functionality presentations.
Two system, the neutron activation analyser SWAN and the intraoperative medical accelerator INTRALINE,
were completed in time and could be directed to further stages of development and commercialization. The former
was found to be a universal tool for isotope identification in materials and attracted the attention of KGHM Polska
Miedź, a global producer of copper and silver. The latter aroused the interest of Wielkopolskie Centrum Onkologii
(WCO) which joined a common project focused on further development of INTRALINE, financially supported by
the National Centre for Research and Development in 2014-2016. More detailed information on demonstrators
realized within the A&D project may be found in the dedicated articles.
In 2013 other research or development projects were continued (selected):
-
4LABs - modernization of the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) and building a new
Accelerating Structure Laboratory (ASL). The EML is aimed at diverse investigations of air quality and is
equipped with a new set of apparatus designed for atmospheric air monitoring which are mounted in a mobile
container. The latter, ASL, is of high priority as developing and manufacturing of accelerating structures is the
core activity of the Division of Nuclear Equipment – HITEC that sells industrial and medical accelerators as
well as manufacturing accelerating cavities for large European infrastructures (e.g. LINAC4 at CERN).
-
MODES_SNM - development of a modular detection system for special nuclear materials detection using high
pressure gas detectors based on He-4 (neutron detection) and Xe (gamma ray detection). This European project
is aimed at building detection systems for land-border security purposes.
-
EURATOM programme – development of a diagnostic technique based on a Cherenkov-type detector,
designed especially for an FTU tokamak as well as manufacturing a new ion pinhole camera and a special
manipulator, suitable for inserting such a camera into the vacuum vessel of the COMPASS tokamak. First
studies were also carried out to find the most suitable scintillation detectors for hard X-ray detection at the JET
facility, Culham, UK.
-
XFEL - in the framework of the in-kind contribution provided by NCBJ to the European XFEL Project the
whole Higher Order Modes (HOM) suppression system was developed delivered to XFEL-GmbH DESY.
-
BioQuaRT – participation in the EURAMET project “Biologically weighted quantities in radiotherapy”.
Nanodosimetry studies of carbon ions are carries out using the Jet Counter technique.
The Department has 200+ employees, including 2 professors, 3 associate professors and 30+ employees with
PhD degrees. Most of the scientific achievements of the department were summarized in 40+ peer reviewed
publications, published in 2013.
Some efforts are also made to help transfer technologies between NCBJ and industry. The first spin-off
company successfully commercialized the DDR-type (Direct Digital Radiography) SMOC detectors that were being
developed in the Department.

Overview
The activity of the TJ1 department is focused on development of new acceleration techniques and technologies,
as well as on applications of particle accelerators. The main know-how is concentrated in cavity optimisation,
calculations of magnets, transfer lines, sources and targets, collimators and applicators. In particular, beam dynamics
calculations and Monte Carlo simulations of accelerator heads and detectors are continuously performed for
different projects.
The main activity of the TJ1 department in 2013 year was related to the AiD project, manufacturing and
starting-up the accelerators for IORT and cargo screening. Both demonstrators were completed and delivered the
beam.
One of the important actions was the successful commercialization of the SMOC detectors through a spin-off
company. The licence contract, which has been sent is a good example of science-industry cooperation.
The group working for the XFEL project is in the efficient period of HOM couplers and absorbers production.
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is passing to the construction phase, andour team is continuing
calculations of fixed and mobile collimators in close cooperation with the Lund and Aarhus teams.
Some of these topics are described in detail in separate articles.

Tadeusz Kozłowski (1939-2013)
With a great shock and deep sadness we learned that our friend
Tadek Kozłowski died suddenly on May 17th, 2013.
For over a half of century, Tadek was working at Świerk in IBJ, IPJ
and NCBJ, after graduating from the Faculty of Physics at
University of Warsaw. In 1961 he joined the Institute of Nuclear
Research working in the famous Nuclear Physics Department IA.
From the beginning, Tadek was involved in designing and operating
accelerators
Proton Linear Accelerator ANDRZEJ, mass
spectrometers (e.g., IGISOL) and detectors.
In 1967-1970 he was working at Dubna and in 1972 he obtained
PhD for studying muon interaction with matter.
In 1978 Tadek started a long-term collaboration with the Paul
Scherer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland, mostly in
SINDRUM and PIBETA experiments. Tadek was one of the
leading physicist in the discussion of these experiments. The
collaboration with physicists at PSI was connected with
investigations of very rear decays of particles produced in medium
energy interactions. In case of the SINDRUM experiments, the observation of the muon-electron conversion would
give evidence that the lepton favour is not conserved and this, in turn, is a sign of new physics beyond the Standard
Model of particle physics. The result obtained in this experiment in 2000 still remains the most precise one.
Tadek was an active member of the Polish Neutrino Group dealing with neutrino oscillations. He participated in the
ICARUS experiment being responsible for part of the external triggering system.
In last years Tadek was working in the Accelerators & Detectors (AiD) project being a well recognized expert and
a critic of proposed solutions.
opinions or comments related to our other studies, e.g., of scintillation detectors.
For many years, Tadek was a head of
Division of Interdisciplinary Applications of Physics, previously
Department of Nuclear Spectroscopy and Technique. He was a member of the Scientific Council of our Institute.
Tadek liked fishing, mushroom picking, classical music and solitaire playing. Photography was another his hobby.
Tadek’s insightful understanding of physics was always appreciated by all people working with him. With only few
words he got his point across clearly.
Discussions with him quite often were warm and not always easy. For sure, Tadek did not support any compromise.
Trying to convince him was a hard job.
We lost Tadek and the great partner in a number of common developments – we will continue to miss and remember
him fondly.

Overview
The Radiation Detectors Division was established at the beginning of 2012 as part of the former Division of
Detectors and Nuclear Electronics. Most of our division’s activity is focused on the characterization of scintillation
detectors for neutron and gamma ray radiation. Performance of scintillation detectors coupled to various
photodetectors is also extensively studied. In the last year our efforts were concentrated on:
-
measuring the non-proportionality response of separate decay modes in NaI:Tl scintillators
characterization of high density Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) performance in gamma and X-ray spectrometry
using scintillators
characterization of microPMT, a novel type photodetector for scintillation readout
characterization of recently developed plastic scintillators with n/γ discrimination capability
characterization of basic properties of scintillators, including non-proportional response to the deposited energy
and its relation to energy resolution, decay time, timing resolution and detection efficiency
development of the Ion Sputtering (Al, B, Sb) method for production of new type semiconductor radiation detectors.
The results of our studies were used in the realization of several projects, including:
-
-
-
-
A&D, neutron demonstrator SWAN and X-ray radiography: In cooperation with the Division of Electronics and
Detection Systems, we are involved in the development of the of Neutron Activation Analysis demonstrator
(SWAN) for the detection of explosives and drugs and the X-ray radiography demonstrator (CANIS) for inspection of large-scale cargo
A&D, Photofission: methods for detection of fissile materials by means of photofission are studied by means of
a linear accelerator
MODES_SNM: we are involved in the development of a modular detection system for special nuclear material
detection using high pressure gas detectors based on He-4 (neutron detection) and Xe (gamma ray detection). In
the last year, laboratory characterization of the integrated system performance has been done
EURATOM: we are involved in the construction of a gamma camera for inspection of thermofusion reactions.
The programme covers a comparative study of scintillator, that may be potentially used in a gamma camera.
Simulations of the detector response to gamma radiation are performed in parallel in order to choose the optimal
configuration of the detector. Studies devoted to the choice of anoptimal photodetector will be commenced in the
nearest future.
RaM-ScaN: the aim of the project is to develop a system for controlling the chemical composition of raw
materials used in cement production. The method of scanning will be based on Neutron Activation Analysis.
COST network: COST is a programme oriented to experience exchange between scientists involved in projects
related to nuclear medicine. Our participation allows us to visit other Institutes and companies to develop new
measurement techniques and to host guests from other Institutions.
Most of the scientific achievements of the Division were summarized in 22 reviewed publications, published
mainly in IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci., J. of Instrum. and Nucl. Instrum. and Meth. A. Besides that, our scientists presented 16 contributions at international conferences – including 5 presentations at the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference 2011 in Anaheim, USA and 2 invited talks during various Workshops.

The Division has been also involved in scientific collaborations with a number of international centre, such as
the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, KMUTT Bangkok, Thailand, CEA-Saclay, France, ISC Kharkov,
Ukraine, LNL INFN, Italy, Tohoku University, Japan, and companies such as Saint-Gobain, France, Scionix B.V.,

Overview
The end of 2013 marks the second year of the Division of Electronics and Detection Systems existence and
activity. The team takes part in various projects, providing expertise and support whenever the need for high end
elec-tronics arises. Our goal is to maintain our technology edge by participating in challenging projects and
collabora-tions while actively seeking commercial opportunities and applications for our solutions.
In 2013 the division’s effort was focused on the following topics:
A&D, neutron demonstrator SWAN
The neutron demonstrator SWAN was finished and is now being used to attract investor attention to the neutron
activation analysis technique. The next step is to identify a commercially prospective application scenario and
build a dedicated prototype.
A&D, X-ray radiography.
The InterlaCed Energy CArgo ScaNnIng System (CANIS) is intended to inspect cargo containers using the high
energy X-ray radiography method. It consists of two main components;an interlaced energy (4 MeV/
6 MeV) linear accelerator, and a detection system with dedicated software. Members of the division were
responsible for the detection system hardware and the dedicated software for data analysis and
visualization. SWISS grant.
The work in the SWISS grant is proceding smoothly, without significant interference. The most important results worth mentioning in the annual report include the following:
The "Pi of the Sky" project – in addition to ongoing observation and data processing work on the con-struction
of a new version of the Internet controlled robot for ground-based search for optical flashes asso-ciated with
gamma-ray bundles is in progress.
Project POLAR - further tests of the next qualifying model of the detector, preparation for construction of the
flight model, improvement of digital electronics devices and software.
Editing of the website – creation of a database for the AKARI project and the development of several popular
films thematically related to the work carried out in the Grant,.
Computer Centre Świerk - for the needs of astrophysics, mainly the POLAR project, the development of the
possibility of conducting parallel calculations on multiple cores. Calculations can also be done over the Internet
from remote, even foreign centres. A significant acceleration of the execution of programms was achieved.
DESY collaboration.
In this collaboration our electronics and software engineers focus on the control of superconducting linear
accelerators (FLASH and X-FEL at DESY), and enhancement of their parameters. FLASH, the world's first soft
X-ray free-electron laser has been available to the photon science user community for experiments since 2005.
TUKAN Multichannel analyser.
The TUKAN project group continues production and marketing of the Tukan-8k-USB, analogue multichannel
analyzer model interface as well as providing long term support for existing users. The R&D part of the group
works on the new, digital Tukan-DSP analyzer and the associated software. The new DSP digital device will be
equipped with several interfaces (Ethernet, WiFi, USB), high-voltage supply and other fea-tures.
PANDA collaboration.
The PANDA experiment consists of a few detectors. Our goal is to develop and build the slow control system for
the Cluster-Jet Target Detector. This system is based on National Instrument's CompactRIO and LabVIEW. The
controlled and monitored data are transferred to a supervisory system (EPICS) where they are presented to an
operator.
Cryptography project.
Annual Report 2013
136
The aim of the research grant was to create a cryptographic ecosystem. This system consists of the hardware
layer based on an ARM7 microcontroller. When it comes to software, it is referred to the firmware and middleware
layer. Implementation of selected cryptographic algorithms has been made on the basis of the language c and
specification of the PKCS#11 standard.
Details regarding the Division`s achievements in selected areas may be found elaswere in this Annual Report.

Overview
Activities of the Plasma Studies Division (TJ5) in 2013 were concentrated on two research topics, the same as in
the previous year:
-
Studies of fast electrons, ions, neutrons, and X-ray emissions within different research facilities of the PF-, RPI-,
ICF- and Tokamak-type by means of different diagnostic techniques;
-
Investigations of high-temperature plasma streams and their interactions with solid targets.
In the framework of the EURATOM programme a diagnostic technique based on a Cherenkov-type detector and
designed especially for an FTU tokamak was further developed. The measuring head was installed within the FTU
tokamak, and during the experimental session some streams of fast runaway electrons were recorded. The
Cherenkov signals were observed in the phase of discharge disruption as usually, and additionally a new kind of
modulated signals from the Cherenkov detector has been identified. The modulated character of these signals
resulted probably from the rotation of magnetic islands around the tokamak torus. The observed correlation of the
recorded signals has beeen found for the first time by means of the Cherenkov diagnostics, and it will be an object of
further investigations, both theoretical and experimental. In 2013, using two similar Cherenkov detectors, it was
possible at the ISTTOK tokamak to perform research on the mutual influence of the applied probes, which have
been used for measurements of fast electron streams inside the tokamak chamber, as well as the influence of these
on other detectors and the behaviour of a plasma ring. In the framework of the second task of the EURATOM
programme a new ion pinhole camera and a special manipulator, suitable for inserting such a camera into the
vacuum vessel of the COMPASS tokamak, were finally manufactured. This camera will be equipped with a nuclear
track detector of the CR-39/PM-355 type, and the first measurements within the COMPASS facility are planned for
the first half of 2014.
In the framework of the national programme concerning the “Studies and development of technology for
controlled thermonuclear fusion“ in 2013 the main efforts were concentrated on the development of new diagnostic
tools for ion measurements under extreme thermal loads expected in future fusion reactors. The technical project of
ion probes was completed, an universal manipulator for exchangeable positioning of two measuring heads was
designed and constructed. Both measuring heads were finally manufactured. Laboratory tests of the complete probes
were carried out in the RPI-IBIS and PF-360 facilities. The second task of the described programme concerned the
technical modernization of the PF-360 facility, which was almost finalized.
As regards investigations of pulsed plasma streams, many efforts were devoted to studies of plasma produced
from tungsten-, CFC- and SiC-targets irradiated within the modified DPF-1000U facility. The spectroscopic
measurements carried out made it possible to determine the dynamics of the optical emission and to identify ion
species in the free-propagating plasma streams and plasma produced at the target surface. Other efforts concerned
research on coatings obtained by means of the IPD (Impulse Plasma Deposition) process. The measurements were
performed at the Warsaw University of Technology. In the framework of scientific collaboration with the IPP KIPT
in Kharkov studies of the behavior of different materials irradiated by intense plasma streams from plasma
accelerators were also performed.
During 2013 at the Plasma Studies Division (TJ5) employed 15 persons; eight of them belonged to the scientific
teams, one belonged to the research-technical staff, and six constituted the technical and administrative staff. In
2013, TJ5 researchers published 14 papers and presented 20 contributions at various international conferences.

Overview
The Department of Education and Training leads a number of activities. A summary of its work and
achievements in 2013 may be presented as follows:
•
About 5300 visitors from high-schools and about 30 universities and scientific institutions were served by the
Department. The number of visitors was leas in comparison with previous years due to the impossibility of
visiting the MARIA reactor during several months.
•
3 scientific papers were published in peer-reviewed, internationally renowned journals, 2 papers commenting on
others were accepted for publication; our papers were presented during 4 international conferences
•
A popular book “Experiments. Fascinating experiments that can be conducted at home” by M.P. Sadowski and
E. Jamroży, „ SBM Marketing (2013), as well as two new educational posters on ionizing radiation were
published
•
One PhD student (M. Pylak) continued his work under supervision of the Director of the Department.
•
A number of training courses were organized for students and employees of NCBJ
•
The Department was heavily involved in the Project “A school with the future” (special additional training
course for science teachers) and prepared a textbook “The Basics of Nucleonics”. In addition four new
experiments, intending to show the various techniques of energy transformation, were prepared and offered to
students participating in the projects.
•
Our exhibition on nuclear technology was enriched with a mock-up of a high-temperature reactor
The Department was also represented (L.Dobrzynski as alternate of the Polish delegate) in UNSCEAR.
The Department continued to organize of the competition “The Paths of Physics”.
A web-page http://ncbj.edu.pl was mastered, and general care of the NCBJ’s web-page www.ncbj.gov.pl was taken
over by the Department’s staff.

Overview
The Radioisotope Centre POLATOM is a self-contained unit of the National Centre for Nuclear Research which
is engaged in scientific research and development in the field of the use of radioisotopes in nuclear medicine,
industry and science and the production of radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive sources.
The history of POLATOM's operations dates back to the 1950s. Then, in 1957, at the then Institute of Nuclear
Research in Świerk, near Warsaw, Ewa, the first research reactor in Poland was commissioned. This was the
beginning of the country's activities related to the development of methods for obtaining isotopes and radioactive
preparations. Further opportunities for development came in 1974, with the launching of Maria, another research
reactor with which POLATOM's activities have been inextricably connected until today.
Currently, POLATOM combines in its activity basic scientific statutory objectives and successfully
commercialises its own potential and research achievements. In the scientific arena, it is a leading centre in Poland
for interdisciplinary research in the field of the production of radioactive preparations. The main areas of
POLATOM's research activities include nuclear chemistry, radiochemistry, the physical chemistry of radioactive
elements, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and the metrology of ionising radiation. POLATOM carries out
intensive scientific cooperation in Poland and abroad, taking part in international projects and research programmes.
The research and development conducted are primarily oriented towards applications and often lead to the
implementation of innovative products and technologies. The vast majority of commercial products on offer,
including approximately 150 items, are the results of our own work.
POLATOM is Poland's only producer of radioactive preparations, and radiopharmaceuticals constitute its most
important product group. POLATOM is present on all the continents, exporting its products to over 50 countries.
The current POLATOM commercial package includes
• A wide range of scintigraphic kits for 99mTc labelling for the examination of organs and cancer diagnoses
• Preparations of radioactive iodine-131 for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases
• Preparations for the palliative treatment of bone metastases
• Radionuclide generators: 99Mo/99mTc and 188W/188Re
• Precursors for the preparation of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals
• Ophthalmic applicators for brachytherapy
• Sealed industrial sources
• Radioactive standard solutions
• Radiochemical reagents
• A wide range of special customised radioactive preparations
• Accessories for nuclear medicine units
• The calibration and servicing of dose calibrators
• The installation and maintenance of isotopic equipment
• The handling and transportation of radioactive materials
POLATOM's activities meet European and international standards in all areas; with regard to its qualityassurance system, POLATOM holds the PN-EN/ISO 9001:2009 Certificate of Compliance with regard to trading of
dual use items and technology - the Internal Control System Certificate. Its standard of radiopharmaceutical
production is confirmed by the GMP Certificate and qualifications in the area of the ionising radiation metrology
laboratory are confirmed by the Accreditation Certificate of Calibration Laboratory in compliance with PN-EN/ISO
17025:2005.

Overview
The Division of Nuclear Equipment – HITEC - specializes in applications of accelerator technologies in
medicine and industrial radiography. It combines research and development with manufacturing activities.
In 2013, HITEC continued R&D work in the framework of Project No. POIG.01.01-14-012/08-00 (known
under the short name of Accelerators and Detectors) funded by EU Structural Funds. These efforts culminated with
the final design of the second model of a medical multi-energy accelerator for advanced radiotherapy and the
manufacturing of its major components. In parallel, work on the implementation of the highly specialized treatment
techniques with the use of the earlier manufactured first model of the accelerator was successfully continued. The
design of the first model itself was also refined and brought to a stage that allowed the building of a full commercial
prototype of the device in the following year. This modern low energy medical accelerator will be commercialized
under the brand name of Coline 6. Accelerator manufacturing, assembly and commissioning was also completed for
two other demonstrators built within the Accelerators and Detectors project: a mobile accelerator for intra-operative
radiation therapy INTRALINE and an accelerator serving as a radiation source for the border control system
CANIS. The results this work have been described in detail elsewhere in this Report
In 2013 HITEC continued the manufacturing of PI-Mode Structure (PIMS) accelerating cavities for Linac 4 in
the framework of a Collaboration Agreement with CERN aimed at upgrading the performance of the CERN Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). Tuning of the technological process, required to achieve the demanding precision of
machining, allowed the manufacturing and delivery of the first full cavity to be completed. Subsequently, its
mechanical and microwave properties were positively verified at CERN. In effect, HITEC received the green light
for full speed manufacturing of all other eleven PIMS. The production process will greatly benefit from a newly
purchased state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC milling machine.
HITEC delivered in 2012 two radiographic accelerators, including one (for a Polish customer) as part of a fully
integrated digital radiography system consisting of a detector and a set of manipulators: for the accelerator, for the
X-rayed object and for the detector. Intense production efforts for a similar system scheduled for delivery in early
2014 were also carried on.
In 2013, HITEC also started an important upgrade of its infrastructure. As a part of the 4LABs project (Project
No. RPMA.01.01.00-14-030/10-00, co-funded by EU Regional Development Funds) construction work on the new
building for the Accelerating Structure Laboratory began. The Laboratory includes 2 new bunkers capable of
housing high energy (up to 18 MeV) medical accelerators. The construction of the bunkers was finished in 2013.
They will be employed primarily for testing the accelerators developed within the Accelerators and Detectors
project.

Search for CP violation asymmetries in three-body decays
of charm mesons in the LHCb experiment
M. Szczekowski, A. Ukleja
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
CP violation (CPV) has been observed only in
decays of K and B mesons. All observations are
consistent with CPV being generated by the phase in the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix [1,2] of
the Standard Model. In the charm sector, CKM
dynamics can produce direct CP asymmetries in
Cabibbo-suppressed D± decays of the order of 10-3 or
less [3]. Asymmetries of up to around 1% can be
generated by New Physics [4,5]. In most extensions of
the Standard Model, asymmetries arise in processes
with loop diagrams. However, in some cases CPV could
occur even at tree level, for example, in models with
charged Higgs exchange. Investigating CPV in the
charm sector is therefore one of the important ways
of searching for New Physics.
In decays of hadrons, CPV can be observed when
two different amplitudes with nonzero relative weak and
strong phases contribute coherently to a final state. In
two-body decays, CPV leads to an asymmetry in the
partial widths. In three-body decays, the interference
between final state amplitudes in the two-dimensional
phase space can lead to observable asymmetries which
depend on variables in the Dalitz plot. In four-body
decays these asymmetries can be studied in fivedimensional phase space.
After studies of CP violation in two-body B and
D decays a natural step in the search for CP
asymmetries is to move to multi-body charm and beauty
decays. These processes, very often dominated by
intermediate resonance states, can provide one of the
necessary conditions for observation of CP violation:
large relative strong phases in the final states of
interfering decay amplitudes. The interference between
resonances in a multivariate phase space can lead to
observable local asymmetries, which vary across the
available phase space. For instance, in three-body D and
Ds decays the Dalitz plots showing enhanced resonance
maxima provide a very useful tool to search for CP
violating asymmetries. There is a chance to observe
local asymmetries otherwise not visible when
integrating over the whole phase space.
In contrast to many two-body decays, however,
there is currently no fully successful theoretical model
for computing decay amplitudes in multi-body B and
D decay, which could provide reliable predictions for
how CP asymmetries vary in the Dalitz plots. This
situation favours the model independent approach,
which simply looks for any differences between
multivariate distributions for particles and antiparticles.
Accounting for or constraining detector and production
asymmetries can very often be done with help from
control channel analyses, where CP violation is not
expected. This approach should be treated as a first step
in the search for CP asymmetries, followed by a model
parameterization of observed signals.
Two model independent methods were recently
applied in the analysis performed by the LHCb
Warsaw group in collaboration with the Rio de Janeiro
group in the three-body charm decays. In the first, the
SCP (Miranda) method [6], the search was performed by
binning the phase space for particle and antiparticle
decays and comparing the significance of the difference
between the rates of corresponding particle and
antiparticle bins. This method was successfully applied
to many analyses in charm and beauty physics [7] and
the LHCb Warsaw group was also involved in this
analysis [8].
For many-body decays in multivariate phase space
unbinned methods can be potentially more powerful,
especially for samples with limited statistics. In this
analysis the Warsaw group has proposed and tested one
such method - the k-nearest neighbour method (kNN)
[9,10,11]. Its performance was studied in a few threebody charm meson decays. The tests were also
performed using Monte Carlo generated D± → abc
decays.
The kNN method uses the concept of nearest
neighbour events in a pooled sample of n D + and
D- events to test whether they share the same parent
distribution function. To find the nk nearest neighbour
events to each D+ and D- event in the sample, the notion
of the events' distance has to be introduced. In our case
this is the simple Euclidean distance between points on
the Dalitz plot of three-body D+ and D- decays (x = sab,
y = sbc, where s is the invariant mass squared of the
corresponding particles). After the distances between all
event pairs are determined, then the nk nearest events
are selected for each event in the Dalitz plot. The query
event and its nk nearest events are tagged appropriately
as D+ or D- . With the list of nk tagged nearest events for
each event we calculate a test statistic T for the null
hypothesis that the two Dalitz plot distributions for
D+ and D- decays are drawn from a common sample.
The test statistic T is defined as follows:
where I(i, k) = 1 if the ith event and its kth nearest
neighbour belong to the same sample of particles or
Annual Report 2013
168
antiparticles and I(i, k) = 0 otherwise; n + is the number
of events in the D+ sample and n- is the number of
events in the D- sample, n = n+ + n-.
originating from CPV. All results are consistent with no
CP violation. The results were published in Phys.Lett.
B728 (2014) 585-595.
The meaning of T is simple: it is the mean fraction
of like neighbour pairs in the pooled D+ and D- decay
sample. The advantage of the k-nearest neighbour
method, in comparison with other proposed methods for
unbinned analyses, is that the calculation of T is simple
and fast and the expected distribution of T is well
known: for the null hypothesis it should follow a normal
distribution with a mean μT and a variance σT calculated
from known parameters of the distributions.
The studied methods are universal and will be used
to search for CP asymmetries in other multi-body
Cabibbo-suppressed decays of charged D and Ds mesons
in current and future LHCb data.
A search for CPV in the decay D + → π- π+ π+ decay
was performed using pp collision data corresponding to
an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the
LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV.
The two model-independent methods presented above
were applied to a sample of 3.1 million decay
candidates
D+ → π- π+ π+ with 82% signal purity.
Both methods were also applied to the Cabibbofavoured D+s → π- π+ π+ decay and to the D+ mass
sidebands to control possible asymmetries not

Search for CP violation in the D+→π−π+π decay by the Warsaw LHCb group
M. Szczekowski, A. Ukleja
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw, Poland
The article "Search for CP violation in the decay
D+→π−π+π+" published in Phys. Lett. B 728 (2014),
pages 585–595 by the LHCb Collaboration has been
declared as the outstanding
achievement by the
institute. The paper deals with the search for CP
violation effects and the analysis was performed by the
Warsaw LHCb group, especially by M. Szczekowski
and A. Ukleja. The analysis presented here was based
on a very large sample of decays of about three million
events.
Two methods were used in this paper, namely
binned and unbinned ones. In the binned method, used
already previously, the Dalitz plots were divided into
regions and a statistical estimator was used to compare
their population by the two charge states. Several
choices of bins were used, their number varying from
20 to 100. The bins were selected to cover various finalstate resonances present in the decays and also regions,
where no resonances were observed. No indication of
CP violation was found.
According to the Standard Model the decay should
proceed through two types of Feynman diagrams, one of
them a tree-level one, the other being a penguin
diagram. If the phases corresponding to the two
diagrams are different, then an interference should be
observed, which would prove the violation of the CP
symmetry. The analysis was based on the study of the
Dalitz plot of the reaction by comparing distributions
for D+ and D- mesons. If CP-violating processes are
present, then the distributions for the two charge states
should be different. The data were taken with two
analyzing magnetic field polarities to reduce possible
systematic effects.
It is clear, of course, that by grouping events into
bins a certain amount of information is lost. Therefore
an unbinned method, first proposed by the Warsaw
group, was also used. It consists of searching in the
neighbourhood of every event for other events of
thesame and opposite charge. Then an estimator was
constructed based on the difference between the number
of same-sign and opposite-sign neighbours. The
unbinned method,as for the binned one, did not show
any deviation from the null CPV hypothesis.
The results thus obtained are important for the study
of possible devations from the Standard Model, putting
stringent limits on eventual extensions.

JEM-EUSO and EUSO-Balloon – the Polish Contribution
T. Batsch, J. Karczmarczyk, Z. Plebaniak , B. Szabelska, J. Szabelski, T. Tymieniecka, T. Wibig
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Łódz, Poland
JEM-EUSO is a satellite experiment for measuring
the highest energy cosmic rays. The JEM is for Japan
Experiment Module – connected to the International
Space Station (ISS) since 2009. The Japanese Space
Agency JAXA offered that JEM-EUSO might dock to
this module at the begining of 2017. The EUSO is for
Extreme Universe Space Observatory. Currently nearly
300 scientists from 15 countries and 74 institutions are
participating in the preparation for the mission. The
Polish group has 14 participants from 5 institutes [1][2].
EUSO-Balloon is a CNES / IRAP experiment
related to JEM-EUSO. Its main task is to test the
detection method and performance of a JEM-EUSO
detection unit at 40km. However, it may be possible to
make the first measurements of EAS “from above”. The
first flight is scheduled for autumn 2014 from Timmins
in Ontario, Canada.
The main NCBJ contribution to the EUSO-family is
the high voltage power supply (HVPS) equipped with
fast high voltage switches. We developed a very
efficient HVPS to power four 64-anode PMTs without
resistive divider. Fast switches would reduce the PMT's
efficiency within a few microseconds and protect the
PMTs in case of a light flash (e.g. lightning, meteor
etc.).
Fig. 1. Principle of EUSO-family experiments.
Fig. 3. Three HV generators, communication and switches.
White cables connect the HVPS with different photomultiplier
dynodes.
The main scientific goal of the experiment is to
search for the highest energy Cosmic Ray sources. The
EAS energy threshold for JEM-EUSO observations
would be about 5E19eV. Trajectories of Cosmic Ray
protons with energies above 1E20eV are barely
deflected from a straight line. Directional correlations
should determine the direction to the high energy
cosmic ray source. Due to large exposure the number of
events should be sufficient to find the directions of the
main ultra-high energy Cosmic Ray sources, if they
exist.
During 2013 we built a HVPS for the EUSOBalloon. The HVPS unit is contained in two metal
boxes 2.9cm x 5.38cm
x 15.89cm. There are
9 independent HV generators each with 3 fast
HV switches. In one of the boxes there is an additional
DC-DC unit providing full galvanic insulation and
external communication using symmetric lines.
HV electronics needs to be potted for high altitude
balloon applications to prevent coronal discharges in
low pressure conditions (Paschen's law).

JEM-EUSO will also have a “slow trigger” to
observe meteorites, lightning and transient luminous
events
(TLE).
Cloud
coverage,
atmospheric
transparency and mesospheric chemistry will be
monitored.

Ankle-like feature in the energy spectrum of light elements of cosmic rays
observed with KASCADE-grande – the evidence
for an extragalactic component
P. Łuczak, J. Zabierowski (for the KASCADE-Grande Collaboration)
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Łódz, Poland
High energy cosmic rays exhibit a power-law-like
energy spectrum with some features, which have been
subject to investigations for many years. For energies
above 1014 eV the flux is too low to be measured directly;
therefore, one has to extract information about the
primary particles from extensive air showers, for
example, by measuring the secondary particles with
ground-based detector arrays. The most prominent
features are the steepening (knee) of the spectrum at
about 4
1015 eV and its recovery to a harder slope
(ankle) at about 4 1018 eV. The knee is due to a decrease
in the flux of light primaries, as shown by the KASCADE
experiment and others. In the case of a rigidity dependent
steepening in the spectra of the different primaries, the
knee in the spectrum of the heavy component should
appear at an energy of around 1017 eV. According to the
results from the KASCADE-Grande experiment a kneelike feature in the spectrum of heavy particles is visible at
E
1016.92±0.04 eV [1]. It was shown that, indeed, the
bending in the all-particle spectrum at E 1016.92±0.10 eV
is caused by a decrease in the flux of the heavy
component.
It is generally argued that the transition from galactic
to extragalactic origin of cosmic rays is expected in the
energy range from 1017 to 1019 eV. According to the
models one should expect a hardening of the proton or,
more generally, light primaries component of the cosmic
ray spectrum to take place below or around 10 18 eV- due
to the onset of the extragalactic contribution dominated
by light primaries. A recent publication [2] from
KASCADE-Grande reports on finding experimental
evidence for such a spectral feature.
As shown in Fig. 1, a change of the spectral index
from 1 = 3.25 ± 0.05 to 2 = 2.79 ± 0.08 at an energy
of 1017.08±0.08 eV is observed for the light component. The
dashed lines mark the systematic error band for the
separation between He and CNO group primaries. The
measured number of events above the bending is
Nmeas = 595. Without the bending we would expect
Nexp = 467 events above this ankle-like feature. The
Poisson probability to measure at least Nmeas events above
the bending, if Nexp events are expected, is P (N Nmeas)
7.23 10 09 . This corresponds to a significance of 5.8
that in this energy range the spectrum of light primaries
cannot be described by a single power law.
One important observation is that the knee in the
heavy component occurs at a lower energy compared to
the bending in the spectrum of light primaries. This is still
the case if the break positions are shifted by their
uncertainties. Therefore, the steepening of the heavy
spectrum and the recovery of the light component are not
due to a bias in the reconstruction or separation
procedures.
It is worth pointing out that the slope of the heavy
mass spectrum above the knee-like feature is very similar
to the slope of the light mass spectrum before the anklelike feature. This could be a hint of a similar cosmic ray
source population, as described, e.g., in Ref. [3].
Fig. 1. The reconstructed energy spectrum of the light mass
component of cosmic rays. The number of events per energy bin
is indicated as well as the range of systematic uncertainty. The
error bars show the statistical uncertainties [2].
Correspondingly, the slope index of 2 = 2.7 might be
an indication of an injection spectrum of a new
(extragalactic) source population of high energy cosmic
rays, predicted by models.
In summary, KASCADE-Grande has reported
a significant hardening, i.e. an ankle-like feature in the
cosmic ray spectrum of light primaries, at
E = 1017.08±0.08 eV. The observed change of the slope
index of the underlying power law at this energy might be
an indication that the transition from a galactic to an
extragalactic origin of cosmic rays already starts in this
energy range.

Testing POLAR – a space based GRB polarisation detector
J. Karczmarczyk, J. Szabelski, T. Tymieniecka, A. Zwolińska
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Łódź, Poland
X-ray polarisation measurements of Gamma Ray
Bursts may provide important information about the
emission processes. These very energetic astrophysical
events are also candidates for ultra high energy cosmic
ray sources.
POLAR is a Swiss project for a satellite detector for
50-500 keV photon polarisation measurements using
Comptonscattering. 1600 low-Z scintillation bars are
viewed by 25 multianode photomultipliers (MAPMTs)
(Hamamatsu 8500 series – 64 anodes). Simultaneous
measurements of signals from two bars would indicate
Compton scattering while a much larger and “linear”
energy deposits would indicate a cosmic ray proton
track through the detector.
Fig. 1. POLAR detector. Preparation for tests.
In 2011-2012 we designed, developed and produced
a prototype of the high voltage power supply (HVPS)
for 25 MAPMTs. We have made a so-called
“engineering model” (EM) of the HVPS which has full
functionality and fits the allocated space in the POLAR
experiment. We have also provided the external
controller to set individual voltages to each of the
25 MAPMTs during the first tests of the HVPS. Since
the Swiss authors of the POLAR project received full
financial support from ESA within the framework of
Swiss PRODEX, all hardware had to be made in
Switzerland, and our HVPS design was given to the Art
Of Technology company in Zurich for realisation of
a space qualified version. We have nevertheless served
several times with help and advice, mostly solving
problems in communication between the HVPS and the
POLAR central computer unit.
Various qualification measurements were performed
on the POLAR detector or its components. These
include two measurement sessions with polarized
synchrotron beams (at the European Synchrotron
Radiation Facility - ESRF, Grenoble, France). Tests
confirmed theoretical predictions of the instrument
parameters. The electronics and mechanical structure of
the POLAR detector are being extensively tested
including vibration, vacuum and thermal tests as well as
dedicated calibration.
Scattered photons in the Compton scattering of
a linearly polarised X-ray beam should have azimuthal
asymmetry with respect to the beam direction. The
azimuthal distribution is called the modulation curve.
The modulation factor μ is evaluated from the ratio of
fitted parameters: peak amplitude and mean value. The
polarisation of GRB photons would be evaluated as the
ratio of measured μ to μ100. The modulation factor
μ100 is obtained from a laboratory calibration for
a 100% polarised photon beam sent from the same
direction with respect to the POLAR detector as the
GRB. Accurate simulations of μ100 are needed to
provide results for directions not measured in the
calibration.
Fig. 2. The measured modulation curve for the run #0584
when the photon beam was 100% polarised. This result
provides μ100 (see text).
ESRF provided a X–ray source with a polarised
beam and available photon energies in the range
30–700 keV. Some results of run#0584, when the
polarised beam was along the scintillating bars, are
presented in Figures 2 and 3.
During data analysis we observed cosmic ray muons
passing through the detector. They produce straight
lines in the pixel pattern. Similar events are expected
during the flight due to cosmic ray particles penetrating
the detector. In Figure 3 the angular distribution of the
measured muon directions is compared with the
distribution predicted from simulations [1].

Multiplicities of charged pions and kaons from semi-inclusive
deep-inelastic scattering by protons and deuteron
W. Augustyniak, B. Mariański, A.Trzciński, P. Żuprański
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw, Poland
The hadronisation process is an essential element of
a complete picture of the interaction of quarks in
Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD). The multiplicity
Mh of hadrons of type h is defined as the hadron yield
Nh normalised to the Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS)
yield.
The measurement of the hadron multiplicities is one
of the key tools to study the hadronisation process. Lack
of a complete theory to describe the evolution of the
quark cast out of a quark-gluon ensemble into a hadron
leads to a phenomenological understanding of this
process. According to the factorisation theorem the
cross section for hadron production in semi-inclusive
deep-inelastic lepton scattering (SIDIS) is described by
a
parton
distribution
function
(PDF)
and
a fragmentation function. (FF) Dfh which is the number
density of hadron type h produced by the fragmentation
of a struck quark (antiquark) of flavour f. While
knowledge of PDFs is highly developed, the data
available to date are limited, particularly for
unflavoured fragmentation. The data gathered
demonstrate that the fragmentation of a quark
(antiquark) of a specific flavour is favoured to a final
state hadron that contains a quark (antiquark) of that
flavour as a valence quark (antiquark). This flavour
correlation is seen in the magnitude of FF's for
“flavoured” and “unflavoured fragmentation and is
exploited in SIDIS experiments to probe the flavour
stucture of the nucleon.
Most extractions of FFs rely on high precision
information from electron-positron annihilation into
charged hadrons which has the advantage of being free
from the convolution with PDFs. However, these data
do not distinguish between quark and antiquark
contributions because they are only sensistive to the
∔
−
charge sum of specific hadron species (e.g.,π + π ).
In addition, most data are taken at the mass scale of the
Z boson, at which electroweak couplings become
approximately equal and thus only flavour singlet
combinations of FFs can be determined.
The data presented here were extracted from
measurements of leptoproduction of pseudo -scalar
mesons in SIDIS using a lepton beam of an energy of
27.6 GeV in the HERA storage ring at DESY. The
extraction of multiplicities of pions and kaons for
positive and negative charges gives unique information
on the sensitivity of the fragmentation process to quark
and antiquark flavours. These data are the most precise
results for multiplicities at this energy scale. Kinematic

Confronting Mueller-Navelet jets in NLL BFKL
with LHC experiments at 7 TeV

Many processes have been proposed as a way to
probe the high energy dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) described by the Balitsky-FadinKuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach [1]. Among the most
promising ones is the hadroproduction of two forward jets
separated by a large interval of rapidity at hadron
colliders, proposed by Mueller and Navelet [2].
The purpose of this study [3] is to derive predictions
for the observables which can be measured at LHC
experiments performed by the CMS collaboration for the
azimuthal correlations of these jets. The important
prediction based on the BFKL dynamics is a strong
decorrelation of the relative azimuthal angle between
two produced jets. Indeed, while a fixed order calculation
implies that the two jets would be emitted back-to-back,
the fact that more and more (untagged) gluons can be
emitted between them when increasing their relative
rapidity should lead to a decorrelation of this azimuthal
angle.
It is common to describe the decorrelation effects by
calculation of cos(n ) for different integer values n,
where the case with n=0 corresponds to the cross section.
Such harmonic analyses can then be confronted with
experimental data from LHC experiments. It turned out
that theoretically more stable predictions are obtained for
the ratios of decorrelation coefficients cos(n )/cos(m ).
The following figure shows one example of such
a prediction (drawn as the solid lines) obtained by taking
into account different kinds of radiative corrections.
These predictions are confronted with the data points
obtained from a fixed order calculation based on the
conventional parton model. We conclude that precise data
from LHC can in principle distinguish between the two
competing dynamics.
The second figure shows that the results obtained are
quite stable under change of the factorization scale and
that they are below predictions of fixed order results
obtained with the help of the DJET Monte Carlo code.

By the end of 2012, the LHC completed its 8 TeV
run, and both the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations
collected approximately 21/fb of data.
Undoubtedly, the greatest success so far has been
the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of
approximately 126 GeV. Data collected so far imply
that the particle couples to the Standard Model (SM)
gauge bosons, leptons and quarks with the strength
predicted by the model, or at least close to it.
On the other hand, direct searches for signals of
new, beyond the SM (BSM) physics, in particular of
low energy supersymmetry (SUSY), have given null
results to this point. One possible interpretation of these
results is to put into doubt the existence of ``new
physics’’. However, it is well known that the SM does
not provide solutions to some observational puzzles:
what is the dark matter in the Universe, why did
antimatter disappear after the Big Bang, why do
neutrinos have mass, etc. In this and other respects
SUSY still remains the most attractive candidate for
``new physics’’.
Moreover, one of the strongest and most concrete
observational predictions of SUSY models with simple
gauge coupling unification and mass relations among
superpartners set up by the Grand Unified Theory
(GUT) framework was that one of the Higgs bosons
should have a mass of less than some 130 -- 135 GeV.
Moreover, it should typically have SM-like couplings.
In this respect the Higgs boson discovered by the
ATLAS and CMS Collaborations can be viewed as
actually supporting the idea of constrained, or unified
(or, in other words, GUT-based) SUSY models.
One of the main issues addressed in Ref. [1] was to
examine the implications for constrained SUSY of the
actual, rather high, value of the Higgs boson mass.
Unlike in the SM, in SUSY Higgs masses are calculated
quantities and they receive large corrections
predominantly from top quark and its superpartners stop
loop diagrams. The mass of the stop squarks is typically
defined as the scale of SUSY. Within the Bayesian
approach, and including both the CMS central value of
125.8 GeV and the experimental error of 0.6 GeV, as
well as a (dominant) theory error estimated at 2 GeV,
we examined what SUSY masses are favoured by the
Higgs mass. First we ignored all other observational
constraints on SUSY (other than a lower limit on SUSY
masses from CMS) and examined a very wide range of
SUSY mass parameters, nearly an order of magnitude
larger than the ranges explored by us and others before.
We found that, in addition to previously known
solutions, there exists a new generic solution with
typical masses of the superpartners in the multi-TeV
regime. This would explain why SUSY has not been
seen at the LHC.
Thus the Higgs mass alone implies heavy
superpartners, possibly beyond the reach of the LHC.
However, the question arises whether this is consistent
with all the other important observational constraints on
SUSY, in particular with the first measurements of
BR(Bs-->μμ) by LHCb and CMS which came out to be
SM-like. In Ref. [1] we focused on some popular
unified SUSY models: the Constrained MSSM
(CMSSM) and the Non-Universal Higgs Model
(NUHM) and showed that, in the parameter space
region of beyond 1 TeV SUSY masses favoured by the
Higgs mass, also the LHC limits and flavour physics
constraints, are naturally satisfied, as well as the relic
density of dark matter being the lightest SUSY particle
(LSP) which is massive and stable. Our most important
result was finding a new generic solution where the dark
matter is a neutralino which is nearly pure higgsino
(fermionic partner of Higgs bosons) with a mass m of
approximately 1 TeV.
Fig. 1. Total marginalized posterior probability in the
(m

plane of the CMSSM. A sample of points from the
scan is overlapped for clarity.
Such a relatively heavy neutralino will make
observation of SUSY particles at LHC14 a challenge, as
it strongly reduces the transverse momentum of the
charged and coloured particles produced in collisions.
Astrophysics, Cosmic Rays & Elementary Particle Physics
Instead, the best prospects for the observation of the ~1
TeV higgsino come from dark matter direct detection
SI
the (m
p) plane for the case of the CMSSM. The
large 2-sigma region on the right side represents the
new ~1 TeV higgsino dark matter region. One can see
that good prospects for detection can already be
foreseen for the currently running experiments LUX and
Xenon100 (which will achieve a similar sensitivity to
LUX, both by approximately the end of 2014). Should
this not bring positive result, then almost the whole
region will be explored by the currently built
XENON1T detector which will start operating in 2017.
The chances for a timely detection of the previously
known solutions (from the left, the stau coannihilation
region and the A-funnel region, respectively), where the
LSP is bino-dominated, are not as good, although the
former will be almost surely tested by the LHC14, while
the latter will be tested by improving constraints on rare
decays, particularly by increasing the precision of the
BR(Bs-->μμ) measurement.
The approximately 1 TeV higgsino dark matter
region is a generic prediction of unified SUSY models,
and in Ref. [1] we showed this for the case of the
CMSSM and the NUHM. One can easily see that, once
the mass of the bino increases above 1 TeV, the
higgsino becomes a favoured solution corresponding to
the multi-TeV scale of SUSY, which in turn is implied
by the relatively large Higgs mass. This generic solution
is clearly also allowed in a much broader framework of
the phenomenological MSSM.
In Fig. 2 we show the distribution of the points that
SI
satisfy all the constraints in the (m
p) plane of the
MSSM with nine free parameters. One can see that the
1 TeV higgsino region (in red) appears in this model as
well, and prospects for its detection are similar to the
175
experiments, as shown in Fig. 1 where we plot regions
of 2-dimensional total Bayesian posterior probability in
CMSSM. It is therefore characteristic not only of
unified SUSY models but also of the MSSM in general.
Most importantly, the ~1 TeV higgsino solution
implied by the Higgs mass that we have identified will
be experimentally tested within the next few years.

Spectroscopic factors obtained from analyses of
direct reactions such as (d,p), (d,3He) etc. and (e,e'p)
reactions have long been known to show a 30-40%
reduction compared to shell model calculations. Recent
analyses of knock-out data induced by beams of
radioactive ions suggest a strong correlation between
this reduction factor, Rs, and the difference between the
single neutron and proton separation energies,
ΔS = ε (Sp – Sn) with ε = +1 (−1) for proton (neutron)
removal reactions, with a reduction as high as 70 % for
deeply bound nucleons. In this work [1] we analyse new
data for the 14O(d,3He) and (d,t) reactions, 14O being
chosen due to its large value of ΔS (±18.5 MeV) which
should emphasise any dependence of Rs on this quantity.
Cross sections for single neutron and single proton
pickup from 14O were measured in inverse kinematics
at the GANIL-SPIRAL facility in Caen with
a radioactive beam of 14O8+ ions at 18.1 MeV/u incident
on a CD2 target. Light charged particles were detected
with the MUST2 array while the heavy ejectiles were
identified in the focal plane of the VAMOS magnetic
spectrometer. Angular distributions for the deuteron
elastic scattering, (d,t) pickup to the ground state of 13O
and (d,3He) pickup to the ground state and the
(unbound) Ex = 3.5 MeV first excited state of 13N were
obtained.
Fig. 2. CRC fit to the single neutron pickup data.
The data were analysed with a combined Coupled
Discretised Continuum Channels (CDCC) and Coupled
Reaction Channels (CRC) method. Binding potential
geometries were fixed by requiring the same rms radii
for the N+core radial wave functions as those of HFB
calculations. The spectroscopic factors extracted from
the analysis show no significant variation in Rs as
a function of ΔS, unlike the knockout results.

Puzzle of a hyper-deformed minimum in 232Th

The topic of third minima in actinides, which are
supposedly more deformed than the superdeformed
ones, and for this reason sometimes called
“hyperdeformed,” is surrounded by some uncertainty.
Their existence is inferred from an analysis of the
observed transmission resonances in the prompt fission
probability in (n, f), (d, pf), (γ, f) and (e, f) reactions.
Using one-dimensional models for tunnelling, one tries
to fit the data by considering various possibilities of
rotational or vibrational states, either in the second or
the third well, and choosing unknown barrier
parameters. The best fit gives energy at the third barrier
and minimum, and possibly the moment of inertia in the
IIIrd well. An additional check of the hypothesis may be
obtained by measuring the fission fragment angular
distribution. In Ref. [2] we calculated the existence of
a third, hyper deformed minimum in 232Th using the
Woods-Saxon microscopic-macroscopic model that
reproduces very well the first and second minima and
fission barriers in actinides. This article [2] was
a natural continuation of systematic studies conducted
previously on a number of even-even Th, U, and Pu
nuclei in Ref. [1]. A hyper-deformed minimum was
searched for by exploring the energy surfaces in
a region of deformations beyond the second minimum.
It appears that the dipole deformation β10, usually
associated only with a shift of the centre of mass,
effectively makes up for truncated multipoles in very
deformed, mass - asymmetric configurations. We
emphasize that our program automatically keeps the
centre of mass at the coordinate origin: it simply applies
an appropriate shift to each shape. Thus β10 serves only
to probe somewhat different shapes. The deformations
that label a given shape are those before the shift (as
was always so in the deformed Woods-Saxon model).
The landscape modification obtained by including the
dipole deformation β10 is decisive for the picture of the
IIIrd minima. The apparent minimum with large β3 and
quadrupole moments disappears completely in the
nuclei studied. One can find continuous 8D paths
starting at the supposed IIIrd minimum and leading to
scission, along which energy decreases gradually.
A modification of the energy landscape by including β10
is shown in Fig. 1. Since the dipole is the first spherical
harmonic, one night expect it to have a pronounced
effect. Indeed, the effect is significant. Not only is the
height of the third saddle clearly reduced, but also the
whole landscape is changed. The result indicates a large
effect of new shapes, unattainable previously. The
figures also show examples of two fission paths. In the
version of the calculation without the dipole (blue
trajectory), after passing through the second saddle, the
nucleus falls into a deep third minimum. To be split, it
needs to tunnel through a more than 4MeV high barrier.
When β10 is included (red trajectory), after passing the
second barrier, the nucleus can easily split. New
experimental studies dedicated to hyper-deformation in
232
Th seem essential for the understanding of the third
minima in actinide nuclei. Including a dipole distortion
lowers the third saddle by more than 4 MeV. It seems
likely that with the shape parameterization the dipole
deformation is important everywhere when large
elongation and necking is combined with a sizable mass
asymmetry. For example, it may be the case for the
Poincar´e shape transition at high spins in mediumheavy nuclei.

8D β10-β80 calculation; upper panel: at β10 = 0, minimized

Characteristics of fast electron streams in FTU and other MCF experiments*

In 2013 within the framework of the Euratom
programme at NCBJ the diagnostic technique based on
a Cherenkov-type detector for the FTU tokamak was
further developed. A new, single-channel, measuring
head was designed with a miniature cylindrical diamond
plate used as the detecting crystal. It was mounted
within a stainless steel measuring head. The diamond
surface was coated with a thin layer of molybdenum,
which determined the low-energy threshold for electron
beams equal to 58 keV. To minimize the size of the
measuring head the Cherenkov radiation was transferred
through a thin metal tube instead of an optical fibre.
Then, optical signals were led out of the vacuum
chamber by an optical fibre cable coupled with the
photomultiplier.
The measuring head was installed within the FTU
tokamak during preparations for an experimental
session with the use of a novel liquid-lithium limiter.
During the measurements the Cherenkov probe was
placed inside the FTU tokamak vessel at variable
positions, but in the shadow of the limiter. It was
experimentally proved that the detector was not
sensitive to the background electromagnetic radiation
such as visible-, synchrotron- and gamma-emission.
During the experimental session some beams of fast
runaway electrons were observed, particularly during
the phase of discharge disruptions. Moreover, a new
kind of modulated signal from the Cherenkov detector
has been identified. Comparing the Cherenkov signals
with those obtained simultaneously from other
diagnostics, an evident correlation with MHD
instabilities was found. The modulated character of the
signals resulted probably from the rotation of magnetic
islands around the tokamak torus. This interpretation
was confirmed by other correlations with signals from
a n/gamma camera (see Fig. 1). The described
correlation were observed for the first time by means of
the Cherenkov probe, and it will be an object of further
investigations, both theoretical and experimental.
Preliminary results obtained within the FTU
tokamak confirmed the correct operation of Cherenkov
probe. The correlation of probe signals with other
diagnostics, including primarily MHD activity, revealed
significant opportunities to expand the use of the
Cherenkov-type diagnostics for the understanding of
tokamak physics.
Fast electrons studies, which were carried out
recently within the TORE-SUPRA and COMPASS
tokamaks by means of Cherenkov probes, are
summarized in [1-2].
In 2013, using two similar Cherenkov detectors, it
was possible at the ISTTOK tokamak to perform
research on the mutual influence of the probes, as
applied to measurements of fast electron streams inside
the tokamak chamber, on other detectors and the
behaviour of a plasma ring.
The results of previous experimental campaigns,
which were carried out within the ISTTOK tokamak
with the use of Cherenkov detectors containing AlN
(aluminum nitride) radiators, were summarized in
a paper [3], and those obtained with diamond radiators –
were presented in two other papers [2, 4].

National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
In 2013 a new ion pinhole camera and a special
manipulator, suitable for inserting this camera inside
the vacuum vessel, which were designed at NCBJ in
2012
and planned for experiments within the
COMPASS tokamak, were finally manufactured (see
Fig 1). This camera will be equipped with a nuclear
track detector of the CR-39/PM-355 type, because this
kind of detector is especially sensitive and suitable for
measurements of primary ions and fusion reaction
products over quite a broad energy range. The first
measurements within the COMPASS facility are
planned in the first half of 2014. In order to support the
planned measurements some calculations of proton and
other ion trajectories have been performed using the
Gourdon code.
Additionally, in 2013 calibration measurements
were extended and different characteristics of PM-355
detectors were determined, including their energy
resolution for α-particle detection, sensitivity function,
etching rates, etc. Recent results were presented in two
papers [5-6]
.

In 2013 the most important results of earlier
experimental and theoretical studies of fast ion
emission, performed within plasma facilities of the
RPI-, PF- and MCF-type, were summarized in an
invited lecture given during the international plasma
seminar at the IPP in Kharkov, and published later in
PAST [1]. In particular, research on the spatial and
energetic structure of fast ion streams from RPI-IBIS,
PF-360 and PF-1000 devices, which were investigated
with nuclear track detectors, ion pinhole cameras and
Thomson analyzers was analysed. Also described were
studies of fast electron beams emitted from various
plasma facilities. Particular attention was paid to
progress in mass- and energy-analysis of the fast ion
beams emitted from RPI-type plasma discharges, which
were investigated by means of a modernized Thomsontype analyzer. A detailed report, based an the earlier
presentation at the Alushta-2012 conference, was
published in PAST [2].
Other efforts concerned the development of new
diagnostic tools for ion measurements under extreme
thermal loads expected in future fusion reactors. These
studies were performed in the framework of the national
programme concerning “Studies and development of
technology for controlled thermonuclear fusion“1. The
technical project for the ion probes was completed,
a universal manipulator for exchangeable positioning of
two measuring heads was designed and constructed.
Also manufactured were both measuring heads.
A picture of the first one is shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Parts of the measuring head containing an
ion-pinhole camera with a rotating support for
nuclear track detectors.
After the assembly of the measuring heads a highvacuum test of the whole ion probe was performed.
Next, laboratory tests of the complete probes were
carried out at the RPI-IBIS and PF-360 facilities, as
shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Picture of the completed ion probe during tests
within the PF-360 facility.
Continued computer simulations of trajectories of
fast protons, tritons and 3He ions, i.e. fusion products
which might be measured in the COMPASS tokamak
were also continued in 2013. Expected efficiencies of
the detectors to be used in future experiments were also
calculated. The results were presented at the
international
conference
PLASMA-2013
[4].
Measurements and computer modelling of fast ion
emission from plasma accelerators of the RPI-typewere
performef simultaneous. The detailed results obtained
for the RPI-IBIS facility were summarized in a Ph.D.
thesis and presented at the PLASMA-2013 conference
[5].

In 2013 the results of earlier experimental studies of
plasma produced by a carbon target irradiated by laser
pulses, as performed with the use of optical emission
spectroscopy and reported at the Alushta-2012
conference, were summarized in a paper published in
the PAST [1]. Detailed optical-emission spectroscopy
studies of free-propagating plasma streams and plasma
produced during their interactions with solid targets
within the RPI-IBIS and modified PF-1000 facility were
summarized in another paper also published in the
PAST [2].
In further spectroscopic studies particular attention
was paid to plasma produced by tungsten and CFC
targets irradiated in the modified PF-1000 facility.
Results were reported at the international conference
PLASMA-2013 [3]. An example of the recorded spectra
is shown in Fig. 1.

In the framework of scientific collaboration with the

Results were presented at the PLASMA-2013
conference [6]. The dependence of tungsten cracks on
the heat load and the number of plasma shots is shown
in Fig. 3.

In the PF-1000 facility studies of interaction intense
plasma-ion streams with a SiC targetwere also
performed. The spectroscopic measurements made it
possible to determine the dynamics of the optical
emission and to identify the ion species in plasma
streams and plasma produced at the target surface.
These most important results were presented at the
PLASMA-2013 conference [4].
Other efforts concerned research on coatings
obtained by means of the IPD (Impulse Plasma
Deposition) process. The measurements were performed
at the Warsaw University of Technology. The results
obtained were presented at the PLASMA-2013
conference [5]. An example of identified spectral lines
is shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 1. Part of the optical spectrum recorded for Al/N2 pulsed plasma interacting with Cu (A) and HSS (B) substrates, placed at
a distance of 180 mm. The exposure time was 500 s.
The Impulse Plasma Deposition (IPD) technique is
the only method of plasma surface engineering (among
plasma-based technologies) which allows a synthesis of
layers upon a cold unheated substrate and ensures good
adhesion. We studied the plasma impacts upon
a substrate surface during the IPD process [1,2]. In our
experiment the substrate was exposed to pulsed N2/Al
plasma streams during the synthesis of AlN layers.
Application of optical emission spectroscopy was used
for monitoring of the phenomena which take place
during the IPD synthesis of the layers, in particular the
registration of the effects of pulsed plasma interactions
with the substrate (spattering / evapouration of coatings
/ substrates). The OES measurements, as performed for
the first time in the IPD experiment, showed that the
interaction of plasmoids during the IPD process leads to
the effective sputtering of the exposed substrate material
(Fig.1). The results obtained from this experiment
provided valuable information about good adhesion of
the layers obtained by the IPD method. The most
probable explanation is that vapours from the irradiated
substrate are then condensed together with the plasma
constituents upon the substrate surface. The surface
sputtering could be a secondary effect of the substrate
surface bombarding by the plasma particles. In our
opinion both the subplantation of plasma constituents as
well as sputtering/condensation of the substrate material
should be taken into consideration as processes
responsible for the layer adhesion during IPD.

Deposition and optimization of thin lead layers
for superconducting accelerator photocathodes at NCBJ in 2013

The morphology of an arc deposited lead
photocathode layer on niobium is shaped by the
population, size, distribution and shapes of microdroplets coming from erosion of the cathode in the
coating device. These droplets, in a resonant cavity with
accelerating gradient reaching 40 MV/m, disturb the
field distribution and initiate electron field emission.
The reduction of droplet population together with shape
flattening was performed by lead plasma flux filtering
during the deposition and by film annealing and
recrystallization after coating. In order to find an
effective surface treatment the sample films were
melted with beams of extreme ultraviolet radiation
(EUV) in vacuum and with ion beams. The resulting
changes in surface morphology and composition were
observed using SEM.)
Fig. 1. SEM images of a 2µm thick lead layer on Nb after
coating in a straight (non-filtered) UHV arc system (a), after
subsequent treating
with six Ar+ pulses of fluency
1.5 J/cm2(b) and three more pulses of 2.5 J/cm2(c). A uniform
2 µm thick Pb layer in Fig. (d) was reached by deposition with
angular droplets filter, followed by treatment with three Ar+
ion pulses of 1.5 J/cm2 fluency. Note the scale difference.
These studies showed the in effectiveness of EUV
treatment and led us to the conclusion that further
optimization should be reached with the use of the
following two methods:
1. Fast lead deposition (≈3 micrometers/min.) in
a straight, short arc system combined with
subsequent layer melting and recrystallisation by
applying plasma ion pulses in the IBIS rod plasma
injector (at NCBJ) and
2. Lead deposition in an arc system equipped with
a 30o knee-type filter used to reduce micro-droplets
with possible additional treatment in IBIS.
The first method led to deposition of Pb layers with
very high density of protrusions of different shape and
dimensions (from 1 to more than 100 micrometre,
Fig. 1a). The post-processing in therod plasma injector –
applying 2-3 ion pulses with 1,5 J/cm2 superscript
fluency - resulted in melting and flattening of droplets
and craters with dimensions up to 30 micrometres (Fig.
1b). More massive extrusions were not melted at that
low energy density. Further increasing the fluency or
number of ion pulses led to layer discontinuities with
most of the substrate surface deprived of lead due to
poor niobium wettability with liquid lead (Fig. 1c).
Wettability improvement is planned in the future by
creating an intermediate layer between the niobium
substrate and thelead layer.
Using the UHV arc system with droplet filter
allowed, after optimizing the position of the coated
target with respect to the filter, to reach very low
density of micro-droplets (ca 30/mm2 ) of mitigated
contours, embedded in a uniform lead layer with
roughness Ra below 0.1 micrometre (Fig.1d).

Ferromagnetic semiconductors operating at room
temperature with ferromagnetism (FM) controlled by
the electronic system (charge carriers) is a dream of
researchers interested in the development of spintronics.
One of the possible ways to manufacture such a material
is to implant a standard semiconductor or
semiconducting compound with a transition metal (TM)
and to remove the radiation induced crystallographic
disorder by a suitable annealing technique. Zinc oxide
doped with cobalt is a prospective material in which
high temperature FM is predicted theoretically.
FM was detected in ZnO but its interpretation is far
from complete. The results of various groups are
inconsistent with one another and depend to a great
Plasma Physics & Technology
extend on the preparation technology. The origin of FM
is claimed to be TM impurity-related, TM and intrinsic
defect-related and even purely intrinsic defect-related.
Since high-dose implantation of Co was shown to
lead to second phase formation (metallic Co
precipitates), we implanted ZnO single crystals with Co
doses of theorder of 1016 cm-2 and we annealed the
samples at 800°C in argon flow. The samples were
characterized by cPIXE and magnetization measuments.
The magnetization measurements revela that the
implanted sample contains two phases; a paramagnetic
(PM) one and a FM one. The total magnetic moment in
each of the two phases amounts to about 4·1016μB (Bohr
189
magnetons) i.e. to a value much higher than the
implanted Co dose. Upon annealing the FM phase
disappears and the PM phase grows to a value of about
8·1016μB.
We interpret this result as a manifestation of defectrelated FM in which thermal annealing leads to
transformation of defects. The cPIXE results confirm
that annealing is incomplete from the crystallographic
point of view.

Stainless steels doped with yttrium or rare earth
elements (REE) exhibit improved high-temperature
oxidation resistance. In the present work we report on
the use of yttrium as an active element incorporated into
316L stainless steel using High Intensity Pulsed Plasma
Beams (HIPPB). The main parameters of the
modification were:
- delay time τD (between the moment of injection of the
working gas into the inter-electrode space and the
application of voltage to the electrodes): about 140 µs,
- delay time τB (between the moment of voltage
application and the beginning of the plasma
implosion): from 2.4 µs to 4.0 µs,
- pulse duration: about 1 µs,
- pulse energy density: about 2 Jcm-2,
- number of pulses: 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15,
- working gas: nitrogen (99.9% purity),
- electrode material: yttrium.
The thickness of the modified layers determined by
RBS measurements was from 8 nm to 340 nm. The
maximum concentration of yttrium in the modified
layers was about 80%.
Selected treated samples were subsequently
oxidized at 1000ºC for 100 hours in air at 50% relative
humidity. The heating rate was about 25ºC/min. and the
cooling rate was about 10ºC/min.
According to the yttrium content, different
morphologies of the modified samples were observed.
Fig. 1. The results of SEM observation of “good” and “poor”
regions of the oxidized sample.
Fig. 1 presents the results of SEM observations of
“good” regions (a flawless and well adhering surface)
and “poor” regions (defects, e.g. pits). The “good”
region is characterized by a compact and homogeneous
morphology. There are two main kinds of “poor”
regions. Their morphology is non-homogeneous with
numerous “pores”.
EDS results (not shown here) from the presented
regions show that in the “flawless surface” case the
yttrium presence is visible, unlike in the “poor surface”
case. Additionally, the iron content is lower in the “poor
surface” case. These facts are probably associated with
the low resistance to high temperature oxidation of the
modified steel.

Jet Counter – experiment with carbon ions at the HIL

National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock - Swierk, Poland
Carbon ion therapy is the therapy of choice for
tumours because of the well-defined carbon ion range.
A further benefit of carbon ions is that their biological
effect is most pronounced in the Bragg peak and in the
distal edge close to the Bragg peak. This enhanced
biological effectiveness is related to the ionization
structure of the carbon ion track at the nanometer level.
In view of the impending radiation therapy with carbon
ions, the ionization structure of the carbon ion track at
the nanometre scale is of particular interest.
The Jet Counter [1] is capable of measuring the track
structure of ionizing particles in a gas target equivalent
to a nanometric site in condensed matter. These
experiments-namely measurements of the ionization
cluster size distribution, ICSD, created by carbon ions in
a simulated nanometre sized (SNS) nitrogen volume
were carried out at the Heavy Ion Laborastory,HIL
accelerator using 45 MeV and 76 MeV carbon ions. For
more technical details of the Jet Counter see Ref.[2].
Fig. 1. Ionization cluster size distributions produced by
45 MeV and 76 MeV carbon ions in a 0.16 μg/cm2 nitrogen
nanometric target. NCBJ Jet Counter.
The ICSDs for carbon ions of 45 MeV and 76 MeV
were measured in N2 for two cavity sizes with
0.16 μg/cm2 and 0.32 μg/cm2 diameters. The results are
presented in Figures 1 and 2. These results are
compared with the experimental data, measured by the
PTB group with the Ion Counter [3]. The ICSDs results
for carbon ions of 45MeV measured by the PTB Ion
Counter [4] for cavity size have been compared with
measurement by NCBJ for cavity size. The results of
such a comparison are seen in Figure 3. It has been
shown that the ICSDs spectra measured by the Jet
Counter can be matched with the spectra of the PTB ion
counter by changing the gas cavity size. It has been
shown that the effective diameters D of the gas cavities
of the two gas nanodosimeters which differ with the
efficiency of single ion η collection are related as:η1D1
= η2D2. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the
differences in ICSDs spectra from both systems
especially for the larger cluster size region.

The aim of this work was to provide the
characteristics of two samples of Fondazione Bruno
Kessler (FBK) high-density SiPMs with an active area
of 2.2x2.2 mm2 (15x15 µm2 single cell size) and
4x4 mm2 (30x30 µm2 single cell size) in gamma-ray
spectrometry with LSO and CsI:Tl scintillators. The
measurements presented in this work covered:
measurements of the single photoelectron spectra,
characteristics of the breakdown voltage versus
temperature, verification of the excess noise factor,
selection of the optimum operating voltage for energy
resolution, verification of the linearity of the SiPM
response for both scintillators, verification of the
number of photoelectrons and gamma-ray spectrometry
for a wide range of X and gamma ray energies from
22.1 to 1408 keV.
The breakdown voltage was determined using two
methods. The first method was based on the currentvoltage characteristics and the second method was
based on the single photoelectron spectra measurements
for different overvoltages. Fig. 1 summarizes these
measurements for all the SiPMs tested and various
temperatures.
thermoplastic used for scintillator coupling. The excess
noise factor measured in one condition is independent of
the temperature for overvoltages lower than 9.5V.
Above this value, at 20°C, the quenching mechanism
starts to be inefficient determining a larger fluctuation
of the charge produced by a single avalanche. This, in
turn, produces a rapid increase of the ENF.

Application of analogue electronics at room
temperature with theminimum possible shaping time of
0.25µs does not allow single or multi–photoelectron
spectra from the 2.2x2.2µm and 4x4µm SiPMs to be
recorded. Measurements with the digital electronics
(using a DRS4 Evaluation Board) allowed application
of a much shorter integration time (80ns) and then
a clear visualization of the single photoelectron
response (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 3 presents the dependence of the excess noise
factor (ENF) for 2.2x2.2mm, 15µm SiPM versus
overvoltage at different temperatures. The ENF
measurements were made under two conditions: first –
bare device, second – device covered by the optical
The measurements carried out with the device
covered by the optical thermoplastic showed an ENF
larger by about 14% (compare black and open
diamonds). The excess noise factor measured without
the optical-quality thermoplastic is equal to 1.12
at +20°C, whereas ENF = 1.28 with the thermoplastic.
The increase of the ENF is caused by the increase in the
number of external cross-talks.
A significantly larger ENF of 1.55 at 2.4V
overvoltage was recorded for the SiPM with larger
microcells.
The selection of an optimum operating voltage was
based on the results of the measured energy resolution
versus bias voltage (see Fig. 4). Gamma peaks of
88 keV from 109Cd and 661.6 keV from 137Cs sources
were used during the analysis.

The optimal bias voltage for the smaller tested
SiPM is 35V (overvoltage of 9.3V). In the case of the
larger device the optimal bias voltage value is 28.5V
(overvoltage of 2.4V). These values are independent of
the measured gamma energy.

2.2x2.2mm SiPM for different bias voltages.
The best energy resolution measured with
a 2x2x5mm3 CsI:Tl crystal coupled to the 2.2x2.2mm
SiPM for 88keV is equal to 11.5% and for 661.6keV is
equal to 5.6% (see Fig. 5). In the case of
a 3.8x3.8x3.8mm3 CsI:Tl crystal coupled to the 4x4mm
SiPM, the energy resolution for 88keV is equal to
10.25%.

For each crystal and SiPM type the linearity of the
SiPM response and the energy resolution for a wide
range of X and gamma ray energies from 22.1 to
1408 keV was verified. Three spectra with three
different radioactive sources: 152Eu, 137Cs and 22Na were
used. The same measurements were repeated with an
XP2020Q PMT. The excellent linearity of the XP2020Q
PMT allows the “expected” positions of the energy

peaks recorded in the SiPM to be monitored. The peak
position for an energy of 39.9 keV was used for
normalization of the PMT response to the SiPM
response.
The response of the smaller RGB-HD SiPM
(15x15µm) coupled to a CsI:Tl and LSO scintillators is
shown in Fig. 6. The dashed line represents the ideal
case where the SiPM response is fully proportional to
the PMT response and the tested detector is linear. We
consider a response as linear when the SiPM peak
position does not deviate more than 2% (measurement
accuracy) from the dashed line.
The response of the smaller RGB-HD SiPM
(15x15µm) coupled to a CsI:Tl crystal is almost linear
(3%) in the gamma-ray energy range up to 1408 keV,
which is a remarkable result considering the relatively
small SiPM size. The response for LSO is only slightly
nonlinear; for example at 661.6 keV the deviation is
only about 5%. In the case of the larger RGB-HD SiPM
(30x30µm) coupled to a CsI:Tl crystal, the device is
almost linear (3%) in the gamma-ray energy range up to
344 keV. The significantly lower linearity range of the
4x4mm SiPM is a result of the relatively small number
of 17956 APD cells and their large recovery time
(9 times longer compared to 15µm devices).

Comparison of large samples (2 inch × 2 inch) of plastic and liquid
scintillators with pulse shape discrimination (PSD) capabilities

Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is one of the most
important method for discrimination of high-energy
neutrons in the presence of a gamma-ray background.
This technique is based on the analysis of the different
shapes of the scintillation signal originating from
gamma radiation and neutrons in some types of organic
scintillators. Commonly known scintillators that have
PSD capabilities are stilbene and anthracene crystals, as
well as a wide range of oxygen-free liquid scintillators.
One of the first commercial liquids was NE213,
followed by other similar products, such as BC501A,
EJ301. Organic crystals have good PSD performance;
however, it is difficult to obtain them in large
dimensions. Liquid scintillators can be built in large
volumes, but they are usually toxic and flammable.
Liquid scintillators can be used in large volumes in high
energy physics applications, however, the possibility of
toxic leakage becomes dangerous in the case of
Homeland Security, where the safety of the public is an
important issue.
A good level of PSD, similar to that obtained with
liquids, must also work in plastics, because
crystallographic structure should not be necessary for
PSD capabilities. However, for 50 years PSD in plastic
scintillators has always been reported to be absent or
significantly inferior to that in stilbene or liquid
scintillators, leading to the opinion that plastics are
unsuitable for neutron detection via PSD technique [1],
[2]. In the last 3 years the problem of lack of n/γ
discrimination has been overcome by several groups of
scientists. The motivation for the studies on plastic
scintillators was provided by the group from Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, USA [3]. They
demonstrated PSD in plastic scintillators. On the basis
of their patent, Eljen Technology manufactured the first
samples of commercial plastic scintillators. In this work
we reported the results of PSD characterization of
4 commercially available plastics: EJ299-33, EJ29933G (green, see Fig. 1), EJ-299-34 and EJ299-34G.

Since 2012, the problem of lack of n/γ discrimination
in plastic scintillators has been overcome and recent
results
show
significant
improvement
in
thedevelopment of plastic scintillators with these
properties. Although liquids and organic crystals still
have better PSD performance, plastics give a reasonable
alternative for neutron detection with gamma-ray
discrimination. The main advantage of plastic
scintillators is their robustness, non-toxicity and
inflammability.

The fact that scintillator response to γ-rays is nonproportional has been known for about 60 years [1].
However, the nature of this phenomenon is not entirely
understood and is still being investigated. In the last 10
years several experiments were done in order to study
the influence of scintillation slow components on the
energy resolution. A common conclusion from these
studies was that in most of the cases, integrating long
components of the scintillation decay reduces the light
yield non-proportionality and, in consequence, results in
improvement of the intrinsic resolution of a scintillator.
Moreover, A. Syntfeld-Kazuch has observed the
difference between light pulse shapes in CsI:Tl when
irradiated with X rays (6 keV) or γ rays (662 keV) [2]. It
turned out that low energy excitation produces less
intense slow components than observed in the case of
several hundred keV γ rays.
These facts imply that various decay components
may have different non-proportionality characteristics.
Thus it is assumed that investigating the energy
dependence of light pulse shapes in scintillators may
shed some light on this issue. Recently, an effort to
perform such measurement was carried out by W.-S.
Choong et al. [3]. The results presented for a NaI:Tl
sample showed only a weak trace of differences in pulse
shapes recorded for various energy depositions,
however, at low energy depositions the experimental
uncertainty was substantial. The results published by
Choong et al. prompted us to prepare a similar
experimental setup to investigate the energy dependence
of scintillation pulse shapes in a more direct way.
We have developed a simple experimental setup for
registering scintillation decay profiles as a function of
energy deposited in the scintillator. Due to the fact that
the pulses are registered directly from the anode of
a fast response PMT (Hamamatsu R5320), high
accuracy of the measurements is preserved. The
experimental technique presented herein opens the
possibility to study relations between energy deposition
and different scintillation decay components. As a result
of using the described technique, we were able to
extract decay time constants and non-proportionality
characteristics of fast and slow scintillation components
in NaI:Tl separately.
The tested NaI:Tl sample was a 10 10 5 mm3
cuboid. The measurements involved registration of the
pulses yielded by full-energy absorption of several
KX-ray and γ-ray sources between 17 keV and 662 keV.
Besides, Compton continuum events from Cs-137 were
registered for energy depositions between 10 keV and
450 keV.
There are two scintillation decay components
observed in NaI:Tl [4], a fast component with a decay
time constant of about 0.23 μs and a slow one, that
extends to the few hundred nanoseconds range.
Although the slow component has a small intensity
relative to the fast one at room temperature, its influence
on the pulse shape is noticeable and can be measured.
Therefore, we put our efforts into recording the pulses
in a timescale extended to 8 μs and we used a double
exponential decay function in the fitting procedure.
Fig. 1 presents an example of registered scintillation
pulse averaged over all events detected by the NaI:Tl
under irradiation by a 137Cs source emitting 662 keV
γ rays and 32 keV X rays.
To quantify the decay curves, they were fitted with
the sum of two exponential terms on a linear
background, as follows:
y=A1exp(-t/τ1)+A2exp(-t/τ2)+y0
(1),
where τ1 and τ2 are the decay time constants of the fast
and slow components of the light pulses, A1 and A2 are
their amplitudes, and y0 is the background level.
Fig. 1. Averaged scintillation pulse recorded for NaI:Tl
irradiated with a 137Cs source. A two exponential terms fit to
the data is indicated by the solid line.
Fig. 2 presents the dependence of the NaI:Tl fast
scintillation component decay time values recorded for
various energy depositions in the sample. At large
energy depositions, above about 100 keV, the decay
time has a constant value of 225(10) ns. One may notice
that below 100 keV there is a clear shortening of the
decay time, reaching 11% less than that registered for
energy events above 100 keV. This effect is observed

both for γ ray absorption peaks and Compton electrons,
chosen from the continuum spectrum registered in the
scintillator. The energy dependence of the slow
component decay times extracted from the same fits is
presented in Fig. 3. The averaged pulse from all events
registered with a 137Cs source shows a slow decay time
of 1.04(10) μs. In contrast to the fast decay mode, the
slow component does not show reduction of the decay
time. Moreover, at very low energy deposition of
10 keV we see a large slowing down of the pulse.
Fig. 4 presents non-proportionality curves recorded
for fast and slow components, along with the nonproportionality of the total pulse. This, to our
knowledge,
is
the
first
example
where
non-proportionality of various decay components from
one scintillator has been measured. Moreover, these two
decays have opposite the non-proportionality
characteristics, although they are generated within the
same crystal lattice. A further, deeper, study of the
nature of this phenomenon is needed to understand the
origin of the non-proportionality. However, already at
this point we have a very useful conclusion for the
experimental state of the art. Inverse nonproportionality trends registered for fast and slow
components in NaI:Tl explain the necessity of extended
pulse integration in order to ensure integration of the
entire light emitted by alkali iodide scintillators [5],
especially those exhibiting intense long decay modes.
Proper pulse integration leads to a reduction of light
yield non-proportionality and in turn improves the
intrinsic resolution of a scintillator.

measured for a NaI:Tl scintillator using Compton electron
response and γ ray absorption peaks.
Fig. 4. Non-proportionality of NaI:Tl response extrac-ted for
fast and slow component, and total pulse (sum of fast and
slow). The data were normalized to the intensity of the pulse
induced with full energy peak events from 662 keV γ rays from
the 137Cs source.
Fig. 3. Energy dependence of the fast decay component
measured for a NaI:Tl scintillator using Compton electron
response and γ ray absorption peaks.
The fact that the fitting procedure gives us the
amplitudes and decay constants of the fast and slow
scintillation for different energy depositions allows us to
extract non-proportionality responses for the two
components separately. The non-proportionality is
defined in this case as the energy dependence of the
intensity I of a scintillation component k divided by the
deposited energy E at which it was measured, and
normalized to unity at 662 keV. The intensity of
a component k is calculated at each deposited energy
point as the product of the amplitude (Ak) and decay
constant (τk) resulting from a fit to a registered averaged
scintillation pulse:
Ik(E)=Akτk

Gamma-ray diagnostics of magnetically confined
plasmas investigated in the Joint European Torus (JET)
tokamak provide information on runaway electrons (fast
electrons that often appear during plasma disruptions),
fusion products and other fast ions due to nuclear
reactions on fuel ions or main plasma impurities such as
carbon and beryllium. The energy and spatial
distributions of runaway and fast ions in plasma are
measured in JET with the Gamma Cameras, equipped
with a 2D detector array. The array comprises 19 CsI:Tl
photodiodes with a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness
of 15 mm [1].
The CsI:Tl scintillator has a reasonable energy
resolution and high photon detection efficiency.
However, due to the comparatively long scintillation
decay time, around 1000 ns, spectrometry with MHz
count rates is not feasible. Since heavy scintillators, like
LaBr3:Ce with Zeff=45 with, a density of 5.06 g/cm3 and
a decay time around 20 ns, are now available for
gamma-ray diagnostics, the possibility of replacing
CsI:Tl crystals by the LaBr3:Ce is being considered.
To find the geometrical dimensions for the LaBr3
scintillator which are optimal for measurements in the
energy range 1-6 MeV, Monte Carlo simulations were
performed with the Geant4 code [2]. A fixed diameter
of the LaBr3 detector equal to 20 mm and an energy
resolution of 4% were assumed in the simulations. 106
parallel gammas with an energy of 4.4 and 6.0 MeV
were incident on the scintillator surface. The 4.4 MeV
gamma line is emitted in the reaction
To find the optimal thickness of the scintillator, we
take a figure of merit (FoM) equal to the ratio between
the DEP intensity for the 4.4 MeV gamma ray, located
at 3.4 MeV, and the number of events in the background
over the same energy range produced in the detector
by 6.0 MeV gammas.In Fig. 2 (left) the spectra obtained
for a scintillator with a thickness of 5 mm irradiated by
gammas with energies of 4.4 (upper) and 6.0 MeV
(lower) are compared. In the right part of Fig. 2 such a
comparison is shown for a scintillator with a thickness
of 25 mm.
In Table 1 the simulation results for scintillators with
a thickneses from 5 to 28 mm are presented showing
that the optimal scintillator thickness is around 25 mm
for the FoM defined above.

The InterlaCed Energy CArgo ScaNnIng System
(CANIS) is intended to inspect cargo containers using
the high energy X-ray radiography method. It consists
of two main components an interlaced energy
(4MeV/6MeV) linear accelerator and detection system
with dedicated software. The container is transported
between the accelerator and detector, while the linac
emits alternately high and low energy pulses of
radiation. Attenuated X rays are collected in the
detector, thus information about absorption can be sent
to a PC computer and displayed line by line to form
a radiographic image. Collected pictures can then be
processed by sophisticated software (e.g. coloured or
filtered) or archived for later manipulation.
by image processing to facilitate the recognition of
goods (set of filters, material colouring, rotations etc.).
In addition, it allows for storing the data and pictures.
A new compressed data format was developed for
archival purposes to make files as small as possible, also
database was built for fast and effective image
searching. Some examples of images delivered by the
CANIS system are presented in Fig. 2 and in Fig. 3.
In 2013 the CANIS demonstrator was finished and
successfully started-up. A view of the CANIS system
mounted in the experimental hall is presented in Fig. 1.

December 2013 marks the end of the Accelerators
& Detectors project. SWAN, the neutron activation
analysis demonstrator has passed a series of tests aimed
at revealing its performance parameters. Significant
effort was devoted to comparative tests between
analogue and digital acquisition electronics. Lack of
space prevents even a rough presentation of this topic.
The details, that are also an important contribution to
Tomasz Krakowski`s PhD thesis, have been presented
in the official AiD project reports.
Analyzed materials are rated by measuring and
calculating their oxygen and nitrogen to carbon ratio.

materials in the 2D, N, C, O ratios phase space, but also

by
multiple
measurements of four different material simulator
samples.
The project goal was focused primarily on
explosives detection. The experts questioned were
mainly interested in the maximum distance and the
threshold amounts of detected material. We thus
decided to test the sensitivity of SWAN is response to
some predefined samples of explosives simulators.
Fig. 1 presents the SWAN sensitivity, approximated by
a χ2 test, as a function of distance between the 5 kg
sample and the front of the detector.

material samples; explosives (TNT and RDX), cotton
(COT), and heroin (HER).
The results visible in Fig. 2 can be directly
recalculated to the device identification efficiencies, as
can be seen in Tab. 1. This is because the identification
algorithm in its current shape is very straightforward
and based on straight lines drawn on the 2D phase
space.

distance between the sample and the detector.
It can be clearly seen that the identification abilities
break abruptly after the distance is greater than 25 cm.
Even if the distance is smaller, but still greater than
10 cm, the results are not perfect and the identification
can be ambiguous. Other tests were aimed at
determining the optimal measurement time for a 1 kg
sample and the minimum sample mass if measured at
a distance of 2.5 cm. If the measurement conditions are
perfect, i.e. the sample distance from the detector is
below 10 cm and its mass is not too low when compared
to the container mass then even 2-3 minutes are enough
to detect 100 g and more of explosive material.

Growing requirements for high resolution
spectrometry measurements at MHz event rates require
development of new measurement methods. Traditional
spectrometry techniques, such as analogue pulse
shaping using amplifiers and preamplifiers introduce
a large dead time, which lmits the event rate. To achieve
the highest event rates, digital direct sampling of
spectroscopy pulses is required. Currently available
electronics technology provides the opportunity to
sample directly signals from photomultipliers with
a bresolution which is accurate enough to extract the
required information from the measurement signals. All
signal processing operations, such as baseline removal,
pulse detect, pile-up and ballistic deficit correction, etc.
may be done digitally using efficient Digital Signal

On some relations between characteristic voltages of the conventional
avalanche counters spectrometric mode at moderate specific ionization
J. Sernicki
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Avalanche counters have been recognized as
excellent timing detectors for years [1]. Moreover,
conventional counters, i.e. parallel-plate avalanche
counters (PPAC), have good properties as elementary
detecting devices [2]. However at present there are
generally insufficient data available on the
spectrometric properties of avalanche counters.
Therefore, investigation of the spectrometric properties
of avalanche counters is interesting also from
a cognitive point of view. It should be fully realized,
however, that the counter’s spectrometric properties
depend upon not only the statistical fluctuations of the
charge generated in the interelectrode space, which are
affected by the basic ionization processes, but also upon
additional factors [3].
physical experiments in which the detectors are used [4]
– the mutual characteristic voltages variability.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the
relations between the characteristic voltages of the
PPAC gas gain (M) characteristic and the empirical
energy resolution (ER) curve at moderate specific
ionization (fig. 1), regarding also the detector supply
voltages, viz.: M-characteristic beginning voltage (U0)
and maximum voltage (Umax), just below the detector
breakdown voltage. Therefore, it is interesting – from
a practical point of view – to meet – at conventional
electronic instrumentation and under measurement
conditions being generally typical for the majority of
The elongation of the ER plateau with the rise of
p and d [3] results in the end of the plateau approaching
the Usch-voltage. As shown in the plots, generally,
a PPAC having d=0.3 cm is characterized by the best
voltage properties.
It has been found [3] that the empirical curves of PPAC
energy resolution have some plateau range that extends
with the increase in both n-heptane vapour pressure and
interelectrode gap. This plateau range falls within that
section of the gas gain curve which has a strictly linear
course in a semilogarithmic coordinate system.
The characteristic voltages which mark out the range
of the M-characteristic linear variability and the ERplateau range of the PPAC at different values of both
interelectrode gap (d) and n-heptane vapour pressure (p)
were analyzed. The empirical curves of the detector
voltage relations are shown in figs. 2‒5.

Strengthening of the innovation potential
of the Materials Research Laboratory
B. Zając, Ł. Kurpaska
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
In order to improve the potential of the MRL in
2013 two new laboratories were organized:
•
The laboratory for non-destructive testing which
conducts research in the field of visual (VT) and
penetration (PT) techniques. Its studies are focused on
testing welded joints with special relevance to the
nuclear industry. Recently, new apparatus for magnetic
particle testing and a wide range of items enhancing its
capabilities have been purchased. In the near future, the
non-destructive testing laboratory is planning to buy
equipment covering ultrasonic, eddy current and
radiographic techniques. The personnel of the nondestructive laboratory is highly qualified: 1, 2 and
3 degree of qualification for visual (VT), penetration
(PT) and magnetic-powder (MP) techniques issued by
UDT-CERT and the Welding Institute in accordance to
PN-EN ISO 9712:2012 norm, 2 degree of qualification
in eddy-current (ET) techniques issued by TUV
Rheinland. Up to the present time, research performed
by the non-destructive laboratory covers the following
studies:
•
•
•
•
visual evaluation of depth scratches in fuel elements
(implementation of GLX3 videoscope equipped with
newest 3D measurement system),
examination of test segments of pipe joints
(implementation of visual (VT) and penetration (PT)
techniques),
examination of welded joints (exploration of leakage
which cause leaks – VT and PT techniques),
studies of expansion joints in the graphite blocks of
the MARIA reactor,
oxide layer thickness estimation of type MR- 66 and
CERCA fuel elements (implementation of eddycurrent (ET) technique).
At the end of 2013 two new systems for nanomechanical
examination,
“NanoTest
Ventage”
manufactured by Micro Materials Ltd. were installed in
the Materials Research Laboratory. Installation of this
unique equipment allows the study of mechanical
properties of materials with unprecedented accuracy.
The purchased system is based on the indentation
technique. The method was introduced in 1992 for
measuring hardness and elastic modulus and has been
widely adopted and used in the characterization of small
scale mechanical behaviour.
The system is characterized by the following
features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Excellent low load data measurements
Targeted area and multiple indentation modes
Indentation mapping
High level of automation which enables the
performance of prolonged and unsupervised tests
Space to mount small or large samples or even real
components
Non-destructive testing
Completing ISO 14577 and ASTM 2546 standards.
206
The purchased system works under a wide load
range. Nano loading and micro loading heads allow
forces of 10 µ to 20 N to be applied. The system has
been equipped with a high temperature chamber. This
allows the testing of samples at temperatures up to
750 °C under a controlled atmosphere. Moreover, the
machine is installed in a liquid facility cell. This feature
allows the testing of a sample fully immersed in a fluid
without the buoyancy problems associated with
a vertical loaded indentation. Load/partial-unload
techniques enable a complete profile of the variation of
hardness and modulus with depth to be built. Coupled
with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) system the
precise selection of the location of the indentsis
possible, therefore studies of the mechanical properties
of polycrystalline materials separately within the grains
and in the close vicinity of grain boundaries become
possible.

the NanoTest Ventage system: Hardness, elastic
modulus, adhesion, creep, stress-strain curves, wear

Inelastic neutron scattering investigation of magnetic excitations in quenched
and decomposed Mn0.75Cu0.25 alloy
J. Jankowska-Kisielińska, K. Świderska
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The influence of spinodal decomposition on the spin
wave characteristics of the Mn0.75 Cu0.25 alloy was
studied [1] with inelastic neutron scattering. Three
samples of Mn0.75 Cu0.25 alloy were homogenized by
annealing at ~1100K and subsequent quenching. Then
two of them were annealed at 720K. The annealing is
known to induce the spinodal phase decomposition of
Mn-Cu alloys (during which regions of two different
compositions are formed). One of the decomposed
samples was subsequently plastically deformed along
3 axes of the [001] and [110] type. Atomic and
magnetic ordering of two phases of the decomposed
sample were studied earlier [2]. Measurements of
inelastic neutron scattering on thespin waves (SW) were
performed on the quenched and annealed samples at
a few temperatures.
Data analysis was performed assuming aneutron
scattering cross-section on SW of the form:

where the energy broadening was assumed to depend
linearly on the SW wave vector:

Fig. 1. Spin wave energy gap (a) and velocity (b) presented versus temperature reduced to the Néel temperature TN for 3
samples: quenched (red symbols), annealed (green symbols) and annealed after plastic deformations (blue symbols).
We found that the spin wave velocity and energy gap
obtained at reduced temperature T/TN ≈ 0.65 are after
decomposition about twice as high as for the quenched
sample. These values are close to the results published
for the Mn0.9Cu0.1 alloy. This fact confirms that after
decomposition spin waves are present in the sample
regions of Cu concentration close to 0.1 of atomic
content. It seems to be well established that after
spinodal decomposition spin waves are observed only in
the regions of increased Mn concentration and are not
influenced by the presence of high Cu concentration
regions, at least for long wavelengths. The most
interesting result of the present investigation is that the
SW velocity for the quenched sample is lower than
observed in any other manganese-3d alloy. The
lowering of SW velocity with quenching is not likely to
be due to the enhanced scattering of the SW on
impurities, since the energy broadening is not larger
than for most other investigated manganese alloys.

The multicomponent coupling of aromatic
aldehydes, anilines, and b-keto esters gained recently
special attention due to the ability to apply it in
combinatorial chemistry and solid phase or flow
syntheses [1]. This useful reaction was found to be
substantially accelerated by various catalysts. Recently,
the use of tetrabutylammonium tribromide ((Bu4N)Br3)
[2], InCl3 [3], l-proline/CF3COOH [1], thiourea dioxide
[4], PEG-embedded KBr3, hydrated ZrOCl2 [5], and
cerric ammonium nitrate (CAS) [5], and even elemental
iodine [8] has been reported. We turned our attention to
the use of indium(III) chloride as the catalyst due to its
ability to form complexes in which the structure of
ligands may regulate the properties of the catalyst.
Initially, we concentrated on the reaction of ethyl
acetoacetate 1 with 4-methoxyaniline 2 and
benzaldehyde 3 in the presence of InCl3 [3]. Tetrahydropiperidine 4 was obtained with a69% yield (Scheme
on Fig. 1). The structure of 4 was confirmed by an
X-ray crystal-structure analysis (Fig. 2). The molecule
is composed of the central tetrahydropyridine ring
which adopts a boat conformation. Five substituents are
attached to the ring. Ph-C(2) and Ph-C(6) are in transrelation to each other. The conformation and geometry
of the central boat-ring is defined by the geometrical
parameters given in Table 1. The pyridine N-atom
(N(1)) has analmost flat sp2 configuration, which is
shown by the sum of the adjacent bond angles of
359.748. The slightly longer C(3)=C(4) bond length
1.371(2) - and a bit shorter C(3)-C(7) single Csp2-Csp2
bond length 1.437(2) - confirm the partial conjugation
between the C=C bond and the ester CO group. An
additional confirmation of the above assumption is the
coplanarity of the C(4)-C(3)-C(2) and O(2)-C(7)-O(3)
part – see appropriate torsion angles in Table 1.

The drying process is typically divided into three
main stages characterized by different rates of mass
decrease of the drying medium [1]. During the first
period of drying (constant rate period – CRP), the rate
of water loss is approximately constant and the spatial
distribution of the water content declines uniformly
within the entire volume of the sample. In the following
two periods (falling rate periods – FRP) a gradual
decrease of the rate of water loss is found and
a discernible drying front moving from the open sample
surfaces develops.
drying of layers of particulate beds of corundum were
performed with digital neutron radiography. The
experiments were carried out at the neutron radiography
station located at the MARIA research nuclear reactor
of NCBJ.
The aim of this work [2] was to find the main
features of the drying of wet particulate material of
different grain sizes. Electro-corundum (99% Al2O3) of
two different granulations was used. The coarse grain
corundum (denoted
F20) consisted of grains of
1 – 1.11 mm, and the size of the grains of the fine grain
material (denoted F220) was 53 – 75 μm. Our studies of
The statistical approach to the neutron radiographs was
applied in order to quantify the features of the drying
process [3-6]. In particular the variation of the standard
deviation (std) of the brightness was analyzed. The
presence of two maxima in plots of standard deviation
vs time was found for the fine grained medium whereas
only one maximum with an extended wing for advanced
times was found in the coarse grained material. The first
sharp maximum is attributed to an increase of
diversification of brightness due to intensive drying of
the inner regions of the sample. The second maximum is
a signature of the drying front travelling across the
sample from the open top surface.

Fig. 1. Sample images during drying of the corundum F20 sample.
In order to quantify the kinetics of drying at various
parts of the sample the average brightness and its
standard deviation was calculated for horizontal
segments at various distances from the open upper
sample surface. The time dependence of the standard
deviation is very characteristic since at least two
profound maxima are easily visible in the plots of std vs
t. The feature is independent of the grain size and is
similar to that found for the standard deviation of the
whole sample. The time position of the first maximum
increases with segment depth for corundum of larger
grains whereas it decreases for the small grain sample.
This indicates that the drying of the first one starts from
the outer surface whereas it develops from the inside in
case of the latter. However, the second maximum time
position increases with segment depth for both samples
confirming that it is due to the drying front moving from
the top surface.

The electronic and magnetic structure of Cr3Si
doped with Co atoms is studied theoretically. The CoCo distance as well as the influence of nearest neigh
bors are discussed. Two concentrations of Co impurity
were taken into account: x=0.0625 and x=0.125.
According to the total energy calculations Co atoms
doping Cr3Si exhibit a tendency to form dimers. The
total energy increases with increasing distance between
the cobalt atoms which could indicate a tendency to
clustering. However, based on our total energy
calculations, an unambiguous determination of the
magnetic structure at small Co concentration
(x = 0.0625) is not possible. The main carrier of
magnetism in the alloys is cobalt but its magnetic
moment is not higher than 1.0 μB. The magnetic
moment of Co is shown to depend not only on the
Co-Co distance, but also on the atomic configuration of
its nearest neighborhood. The values of the magnetic
moments obtained in the case of small Co-Co distances
are in agreement with experimental reports about
ferromagnetism in this alloy, where dimerization
probably occurs. On the other hand, an experiment
carried out on Cr3-xCoxSi with x=0.2 [1] showed that an
annealed sample, at least above 10 K, is a Pauli
paramagnet in sharp contrast with our expectation.
Therefore, as explained earlier, we suspect that the
sample used could have had some sort of disorder or
possibly a slightly different stoichiometry.

Analysis of momentum and spin density distributions in gadolinium
by means of ab-initio calculations and the maximum entropy method
M. Pylak
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The main properties of the electronic and magnetic
structure of gadolinium crystals were studied on the
basic of information which is included in the real space
spin density distribution and the reciprosal space
momentum density distribution. These two distributions
together bear complete information about the system
and allow theoretical results to be compared with
experimental ones, obtained with different techniques.
As in nearly all other rare-earth metals, gadolinium
crystallizes in a hexagonal close-packed structure.
However, in contrast to most of them, it is
ferromagnetic.
To reconstruct the momentum density distribution
(for electron-positron pairs), measured as line integrals
(2D ACAR data), an algorithm based on the Maximum
Entropy Method was created. The results obtained were
carefully compared with the tomographic Cormack's
method. For the reconstruction of the spin density
distribution from neutron diffraction data the more
advanced two-channel approach of the Maximum
Entropy Method was used.
Fig. 1. 3-dimensional scheme of Fermi surface elements of
gadolinium. Different colors represent different bands
crossing the Fermi level.
Ab-initio calculations reveal the presence of
a spherically symmetric spin density connected with
a localized 4f magnetic moment and a crucial
contribution from the valence electrons. The Fermi
surface topology obtained is consistent with the
photoemission spectra of Döbrich et al. [2] but is a little
bit different from the previous calculations of
Temmerman-Sterne [6] and Ahuja [1]. The positions of
the 4f bands turned out to correspond with what is
known from photoemission spectra. The Fermi surface
shows a certain tendency to nesting, however this as not
connected with the different spins and does not lead to
the spin density wave or non-collinear magnetism.
Magnetic polarization of electrons in the interstitial
region turned out to be positive in contrast with the
interpretation of the experiment by Moon et al. [4] but
in agreement with the results of Compton scattering [5]
and positron annihilation [3].
In the neutron magnetic form-factor analysis,
special attention was paid to the presence of the
negative polarization of the conduction electrons. Thus,
the 3-dimensional spin density was reconstructed. In the
light of the experimental data, such a reconstruction was
impossible within the Fourier analysis used in [4].
Presence of negative magnetization in the interstitial
regions, claimed in the cited paper, was confirmed.
However, it was shown that it appears very locally and
is determined only by the first experimental points
whose accuracy may be lower than claimed by the
bauthors [4]. Therefore, one can hardly accept it as
evidence of conduction electron polarization. It was also
shown that the theoretically obtained magnetization
distribution explains the experimental data well. The
role of magnetization of 5d electrons was shown to be
important for a full interpretation of the neutron results.
In the course of these studies, it was also shown that the
negative polarization of 5s and 5p electrons could be
measured if high-resolution studies of the magnetic
Compton scattering were carried out.
The magnetocrystalline anisotropy was calculated
and turned out to be of the order of 60 eV. Its maximum
is reached for a magnetic moment lying in the basal
plane. The minimum value was obtained for an angle θ
= 0 (parallel to the c-axis). The calculations have shown
that deviations of magnetic moment from the c-axis lead
to very small energy differences and the results are very
sensitive to the method of calculation.

Upgrading the cooling system of the MARIA reactor fuel channels
E. Borek-Kruszewska, J. Piąstka
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The global Threat Reduction Initiative – GTRI, was
a US initiative to develop a programme to reduce global
threats, consisting among others in financing
a programme of conversion of research reactors to low
enriched fuel (LEU).
Within the conversion programme the French
company AREVA CERCA undertook to produce LEU
fuel elements for the MARIA reactor. Two prototype
LEU fuel elements of MC type, about 20% U-235, were
supplied to the reactor core in 2009.
Measurements and calculations have shown that
LEU MC type fuel elements, compared with the
previously used high enriched Russian MR type fuel
elements, were characterized by:
•
•
higher coefficient of hydraulic resistance by
approximately 30%;
reduced heat transfer surface by about 25%.
These factors resulted in the need to increase the
flow of coolant through the fuel channels in the primary
circuit of the reactor from 25 m3/h, used for the Russian
elements, to 30 m3/h. The existing MARIA reactor main
pump cooling system has enabled the parameters
necessary to test two prototype fuel elements, but did
not provide the possibility of a full of conversion of the
core, i.e, conversion of all fuel elements to LEU
elements which can be up to 25.
It was decided to exchange the existing main pumps
for new ones appropriate for the safe operation of the
MARIA reactor, based on LEU fuel elements.
The MARIA reactor conversion programm for LEU
fuel, taking into account the necessary modifications of
the technological systems of the reactor was supported
substantively and financially by the United States
government, represented by the Department of Energy
and Argonne National Laboratory.
Upgrading the cooling system of the MARIA
reactor fuel channels relies on replacing the four twospeed pumps of the main cooling circuit by four new
single-speed pumps and installing three new auxiliary
pumps with fittings, instrumentation and control system.
Replacing the main pumps requires the preparation of
an appropriate project to modernize the reactor cooling
system, determining both the characteristics of the new
pumps, as well as the necessary modifications of
pipelines, construction parts, power supply systems,
control systems and measurement and control
equipment.
Developing the project of upgrading the cooling
system was commissioned through a tender to
a specialized design firm. Analysis and calculations
carried out by the designer resulted in using 4 main
pump units type 12A32-P7 and 3 auxiliary pump units
of type 8A20-P made by Powen-Wafapomp SA.
Selection of the types of pumps was dictated by both the
compatibility of operating parameters with the values
obtained from the analysis, as well as a small distance
between the manufacturer and service of the pumps and
the location of the reactor. This last factor is of
primaryconcern for the security and availability of the
reactor.
Before starting the upgrade documents had to be
prepared on the basis of which it was possible to obtain
approval from the Nuclear Safety Department of NAEA
to start modernization.
After accepting the dossier the NAEA issued
President NAEA Decision No. P-PAA/140/1338/2013
of 24 May 2013 approving the modernization. On this
basis it was possible to start the process of upgrading
the cooling circuit of the MARIA reactor fuel channels.
The specification of the work carried out during
modernization is as follows:
- dismantling of existing main pumps and pipelines
with fittings, Fig.1;
- modernization of the foundations of the main
pumps, as documented;
- laying foundations of auxiliary pumps;
- assembly of main pumps, pipelines with fittings and
fixings, Fig.2;
- assembly of auxiliary pumps, pipelines with fittings
and fixings, Fig.3;
- assembly of electrical, instrumentation and control
system;
- commissioning, functional tests and run test
(pressure test, 72 hours continuous run).
The correctness of the modernization process was
controlled in three stages:
1. production of pump units at the factory,
2. supply of fittings, equipment and materials,
3. carrying out of work on site.

Modernization was carried out during the two
month MARIA reactor repair in July-August 2013.
A view of the reactor pumping station after
moderniza-tion is presented in Fig.4.
Upon completion of the upgrading of the cooling
sys-tem and the positive result all trials as-built and
quality documentation was prepared by the Contractor.
This documentation, the positive results of all tests
and inspections of the Department of Nuclear Safety in
the reactor MARIA facility, was the basis for approval
by the NAEA President to operate the MARIA reactor
for the first three consecutive cycles.
After that time Appendix No 2013/2 to the MARIA
Reactor Operating Safety Report was prepared and
reactor operation was approved by the NAEA President.
It is now possible to implement the full conversion
of the MARIA reactor core to LEU fuel.

Nuclear heating measurements are crucial for
Material Testing Reactors (MTR). In the case where
measurements are physically not feasible, like for some
locations of the Jules-Horowitz Reactor (JHR), or for
best estimate evaluations, one needs to created Gamma
Heating Model (GHM). This model will make possible
to calculation of the gamma heating under evolution by
using standard computational models with a simple
approach. But before such calculations could be
acknowledged as a valuable result a verification and
validation process of the GHM must be performed.
The last gamma heating measurement and
calculations for the MARIA reactor were made in late
’90 and there is a need to bring them up-to-date. There
is also the expectation to obtain more accurate
experimental results thanks to better characterization of
the MARIA reactor and more advanced instrumentation
than that used previously. From that time the MARIA
reactor has no experimental instrumentation for gamma
heating measurements.
Great efforts have been done in gamma heating
experimental studies by the last CARMEN experiment
which is part of the “Instrumentation for Nuclear
radiations and Calorimetry Online in Reactor” research
programme called IN-CORE and was carried out at
OSIRIS - the French materials testing reactor of the
Commissariat a l’energie atomique et aux energies
alternatives (CEA) and Aix-Marseille Université
(AMU) [1]. We base on this experiment out experience
and knowledge of the state of the art in gamma heating
measurements and try to simplify calorimeter
construction by creating a new one with new calibration
methodology.
This work is part of a larger research project, named
GAMMA MAJOR and realized in collaboration with
the CEA and AMU, which is devoted to the
development of GHM for the JHR and MARIA
reactors.
problem with displacement of the system, it has better
accuracy than a gamma thermometer and there are wide
possibilities of measurement conditions due to many
possibilities of construction. Analytical and parametrical
studies were aimed to define the out key features of the
calorimeter. The proposed design of a simple
calorimeter is shown schematically in Fig. 1.
The calorimeter consists of a sample (core)
enclosed inside the housing (cell), cooled by external
water flow. The temperature profile within the
calorimeter provides information on the heat generation
rate in the sample material.
Fig. 1. Schematic view of MARIA calorimeter construction.
One of the most important issues determining
construc-tion of the calorimeter was the calibration
method. The proposed solution allows calibration of the
calorimeter outside the reactor core.
The temperature radial profile within the
calorimeter, shown in Fig. 2, is almost perfectly
homogeneous inside the sample body, being a good heat
conductor (graphite).
Nuclear gamma heating as a result of the gamma
flux can be measured in the reactor core by means of
various sensors, e.g. differential and adiabatic
calorimeters, gamma thermometers, self-powered
gamma detectors, etc. There are two main types of
sensors used for heating derived from gamma radiation
which are gamma thermometers and differential
calorimeters [1,2,3].
In the MARIA reactor it seems that for gamma
heating measurements the gamma differential
calorimeter would be more adequate as there is no

This has been confirmed by CFD (ANSYS
FLUENT) calculations (Fig.3). The temperature
difference between centre and edge of the core is lower
than 0.5 K.

calorimeter
The value of the time constant can be measured in
the out of reactor calibration procedure. There are two
steps in the calibration procedure:
• heating of the calorimeter in a furnace to 150°C until
the temperatures are stabilized,
• cooling the calorimeter in awater loop with
controlled flow and water temperature.
The temperature decrease (2) is recorded allowing
determination of the time constant ĸ .
For the purpose of such a calibration a special
measuring stand has been designed and manufactured
(see Fig. 4).
Fig. 3. Calorimeter sample temperature profile simulation by
means of the ANSYS FLUENT code.
Even more important is that the homogeneity of the
temperature profile is maintained during transients,
which has also been confirmed by CFD simulations of
un-steady states. This feature is crucial for calibration of
the calorimeter.
The temperature field in the calorimeter, expressed
as the difference between the temperature of a given
point of the sample and the temperature of the fluid
(assumed constant) is governed by the heat generation
density and appropriate initial and boundary conditions.
In steady state conditions the temperature measured
inside the core is proportional to the heat density:
where are respectively density and specific heat of the
core material (both parameters available from physical
tables or direct measurements).
The temperature difference is measured by means
of two thermocouples and Eq. (1) is used as the basis of
measurements of heat generation.
The coefficient of temperature inhomogeneity, defined as the ratio of the core average to measured
tempera-ture:
does not differ significantly from 1.0 (typically well
below 1%) due to the high homogeneity of the
temperature inside the core.
Another parameter is the time constant, specific for
a given calorimeter which has to be determined
experimentally. One can prove that in transients
resulting from sudden shut-off of the heating or
Fig.4. Calorimeter calibration stand.
A simple calorimeter has been designed after
careful study and optimization. Numerical simulations
of steady states and transients confirmed its suitability
for the purpose of in-core measurements and an outcore calibration procedure. If experiments in the
MARIA reactor
confirm our expectations, the
calorimeter construction may remain very simple, cheap
and effective. If the experiment does not confirm our
predictions, the model of the calorimeter will have to be
much more complicated as it is in the CARMEN type
calorimeter.

One of the most important reactor characteristics
that has to be determined for Materials Testing Reactors
is the gamma heating trend for different in-core locations. The best choice would be to measure it directly,
however this is not always technically possible. Since
the gamma heating measurement and calculations for
the MARIA reactor must be carried out, scientists from
the Research Reactor Technology Division (EJ3)
developed a Gamma Heating Model (GHM) that
involves the use of a differential calorimeter as the most
suitable gamma heating measurement technique in the
MARIA reactor core.
In general, the differential calorimeter is nothing
more than a cylindrical thin-walled cell (or can)
encapsulating a rod or cylindrical pellet attached to the
cell via dedicat-ed holders and filled with a gas as
shown in fig. 1.

temperature profiles - either for the warming/heating up
and cooling process of the calorimeter.
According to [1], the most crucial thing in the
experi-ment is the choice of proper sample material. In
order to easily assess the power accumulated in the
sample basied on just one temperature provided by the
centre-line thermocouple, one has to assume uniform
power and so uniform temperature in whole sample.
This, in turn, implies a flat radial temperature profile in
the sample and also its conductivity has to be far greater
than that of the surrounding gas.
Figure 2. presents the radial temperature profile
across the calorimeter and the cooling channel. It is easy
to recognize the flat profile of the temperature in the
solid materials, i.e. beryllium and aluminium due to
high thermal conductivity. One can confirm the
preliminary assumptions that the organized state factors
ψV and ψS are nearly equal to one. Hence, the material
used as a sam-ple - here beryllium - suits the
requirements.

geometry adopted in ANSYS software.
In 2013 the CFD Analysis Group (EJ1) determined
the steady state under normal operational conditions for
the calorimeter with its inner pellet heated up just before
the moment when the cooling begins. This step was
important in order to verify the assumptions made in the
GHM for the so-called organized state factors ψV and
ψS broadly explained in [1].
However, the geometry used in this study was as
simple as possible. When comparing this geometry to
the real model, there are three major differences. First of
all, the model of the can created with the use of the
ANSYS software does not have rounded edges.
Secondly, this model does not take into account two
thermocouples. The last fundamental difference is that
the model does not include a dedicated holder whereby
the pellet will be attached to the can. These
simplifications arise from the fact that it is the design
stage of the entire project, aiming at the selection of the

Thermodynamic properties of ceramic with defects caused by irradiation
O. Dorosh
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Ceramics are an important subject for the nuclear
industry as the main material for nuclear fuel. All of
them undergo the effects of radiation damage whether
during their life-time in a nuclear reactor, or in long
term storage. Depending on their structure they show
very different behaviours under irradiation. Their
responses to irradiation vary from almost perfect
resistance to complete amorphization, with possible
phase transitions. Impressive progress in computers
over the last decade makes possible simulations of
ceramics by means of Molecular Dynamics.
We used MD simulations to study the
thermodynamical properties of MgO ceramic with
different kinds of structure defects. The present
calculation were made with the molecular dynamics
(MD) program LAMMPS created at Sandia National
Laboratory [1]. We used two potentials proposed by
Uberuaga[2] and Akamatsu[3]. Both potentials are
composed of a Coulomb term with full charges for both
oxygen and magnesium and a Buckingham term.
Fig. 1. Structure of MgO with two dislocation cores.
We performed calculation for a MgO system
consisting of 14 thousands atoms. Setting different
pressures on the border of system we calculated the
enthalpy by geometry optimization for different
concentrations of Frankel and Schottky type defects.
To get a system with dislocation we created
a system with a gap in the structure and then ran the
molecular dynamics simulation. After 10 picoseconds
we got a stable in time structure with two dislocation
cores. The structure with dislocations is presented in
figure 1. For such a structure we also performed
calculation for different pressures on the border. In
figure 2 the difference in enthalpy for structure with
dislocation and different concentration of defects of
Schottky type is presented. Plots present the difference
in enthalpy normalized by the number of atoms. The
plot in figure 2 shows that for some threshold
concentration the structure with dislocation is preferred
by energy over structures with point defects.

Comparision of the high energy neutron spectrum (>10MeV) using Yttrium
threshold foils in U or Pb targets
M. Bielewicz, S. Kilim, E. Strugalska-Gola, M. Szuta, A. Wojciechowski
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The long-range goal of this project is to study the
capabilities of ADS systems with hard neutron spectrum, for transmutation of radioactive nuclear wastes.
Two experimental assemblies (“Energy plus Transmutation” (2006-2009) and Quinta” (2011-2013) were irradiated by 1 to 6 GeV deuteron beams using the JINR
NUCLOTRON accelerator. The main difference
between the two experimental setups is the spallation
target - lead or natural uranium.
The beam geometry in the two irradiations was not
identical and in the case of the E+T irradiation the beam
was well off the target centre and the beam distribution
had a large FWHM in both x and y directions (z being
the target axis). This resulted in a large fraction of the
inci-dent beam to hitting the U-rods in the blanket
similar to the case of the QUINTA irradiation.
To calculate the high energy neutron field we need
to know the microscopic cross section for the 89Y-(n,xn)
reactions. We used the TALYS code [1] for cross
section calculations. The solution of our three eqs. gave
us the average neutron fluxes in the three energy ranges
expressed in [n/cm2·s] [2].
When we take theoretical calculations of the
neutron production rate in different target materials [3]
we can see that the most popular lead target has about
two times lower production than a natural uranium
target.
We had two different types of target (lead and uranium) in our two rather similar experimental setups:
E+T and QUINTA. It may be possible to compare our
experimental results obtained using these two setups.
From the experiments carried out using the E+T and
QUINTA assemblies we chose 3 of them with the same
incident deuteron beam energy of 4 GeV. All results are
normalized to 1 primary deuteron, 1 GeV beam energy,
and 1 MeV energy region (the 3 different neutron
energy ranges have different sizes). Since in the
QUINTA experiments we had less detectors we
compare the neutron flux for two radial positions only
(about 4 and about 8 cm).
Studying the results presented in [3] we expected
that the average neutron flux in the QUINTA assembly
should be about two times larger than from the E+T.
For both radial distances 8 cm (Fig. 1) and 4 cm
(Fig. 2) the ratios of the neutron fluxes in QUINTA and
E+T are very similar, with differences of about 10-20%.
The difference between the two QUINTA experiments
(Mar 2011 and Dec 2011) presented in Figs. 1 and 2 is
due to the presence of lead shielding around the
assembly in the Dec 2011 irradiation and its absence in
the March 2011 run.
The experimental results do not show a significant
difference in the fast neutron yield in the E+T and
QUINTA setups when they were irradiated with 4 GeV
deuterons. This may be explained as follows.
Fig. 1. The average neutron flux density per deuteron for two
types of targets. Pink and blue lines: QUINTA experiments
(uranium target) in December 2011 with lead shielding, radial
position 8 cm. Black line: E+T experiment (lead target) in
2009, radial posi-tion 8,5 cm. Data from E+T start from the
first position because this model has one section less, but the
first section in the QUINTA assembly is without atarget.

The xenon atom interacts with the surface of
uranium dioxide similarly to the case of Xe-O and Xe-U
particles. As a result, a potential well of large depth is
formed.
This potential well traps xenon atoms sufficiently to
create a condition for a bound state. It is, in addition as
was previously known, like trapping in bubbles and
trapping due to irradiation induced chemical bonding in
the bulk of the fuel, an additional process for trapping
fission gases by uranium dioxide fuel.

and subsurface layers. It does not interact with the
atoms located on the right side, and belonging to the
next, periodically repeated, super-cell. The binding
energy depends on the distance between the Xe – UO2
surface, and thus the shape and depth of the potential
well, in which the xenon atom is close to the surface as
hown in Figure 2.
V(x) [ eV ]
We present density functional theory (DFT)
calculation results of xenon atom interaction with the
surface of a uranium dioxide single crystal. A pseudopotential approach in the generalized gradient
approximation (GGA) was applied using the ABINIT
program package. Using the above-described ABINIT
software package we received the potential
dependencies of two-particle interactions for Xe-O and
Xe-U, which are shown in Figure 1. As can be seen
from the calculations, the largest bonding energy for
Xe-O is 0.730 eV, and realized at the optimum distance
of 1.86 Å, and for Xe-U respectively - 0.309 eV at
a distance of 3.06 Å. For comparison, in the same way
we calculated the potentials for Ar-O and Ar-U, which
turned out to be equal to 0.138 eV and 0.081 eV. (3.18
and 1.87 kcal/mol). The calculation results are also
shown in Figure 1. These latter results were also studied
in detail in the context of multi-particle interactions of
complex CUO-Ar. The energy of the interaction was
about 3.7 kcal / mol (0.16 eV) [22], which corresponds
to the values obtained by us for two-particle potentials.
However, the interaction of xenon, in comparison with
argon is much stronger, in particular with oxygen (over
5-fold). This situation should favour bonding of xenon
atoms to the surface of UO2. It has been re-vealed that
close to the surface a potential well is formed for xenon
atom due to their interaction with the atoms of oxygen
and uranium.

We present a quantum-mechanical evaluation of the
helium diffusion coefficient in crystalline UO2 and
ThO2. Parameter assignments of Schrödinger’s equation
were made using the crystal field potentials which were
obtained by applying density functional theory (DFT).
Ab initio calculations were performed using the Wien2k
program package. For comparison, a pseudo-potential
approach in the generalized gradient approximation was
also applied using the ABINIT program package. To
compute the unit cell parameters a 13 atom super-cell
was chosen. For the adiabatic approach we numerically
determine the potential values of the crystal field in UO2
and ThO2 along the direction of neighbour interstitial
octahedral positions. The calculations took into account,
as described above, changes in the local deformation of
the lattice in position (x, x,½) and their impact on the
potential barrier height. At this structure the neighbour
octahedral interstitial positions have, for instance, the
following crystal coordinates (0,0,½) and (½,½,½). By
x the current is denoted. He position (x,x,½) during
displacement between the neighbour octahedral
interstitial positions is in the range from x=0 to x=¼.

Helium atoms located in the octahedral interstitial
positions of a perfect fcc crystal lattice UO2 and ThO2
are submitted to strong repulsive forces from the surrounding metal and oxygen atoms, which means that
they are in a deep potential well of depth equal to
7.5 – 8 eV preventing them it from any movement in the
crystals even at very high temperatures reaching
thousands of K. Thus the octahedral interstitial positions
in thorium dioxide, and even more in uranium dioxide,
are effective traps for helium atoms. The trapped helium
is immobilized there and may stay in the crystal for an
arbitrarily long time. This is supported by old minerals,
where alpha decay occurs, such as thorianite or
uraninite which hold quite a lot of helium during
hundreds of millions of years and which could exist in
a certain geological period where the temperature was
very high. The α particles occurring during radioactive
decay have large enough energy to penetrate the crystal
and to occupy the octahedral interstitial positions – the
incorporation process into the crystals.

Modification of UO2 grain Re-crystallization temperature as a function
of burn-up as a base for vitanza experimental curve reconstruction
M. Szuta, L, Dąbrowski
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The critical temperature for the onset of the high
temperature fission gas burst release is plotted against
incubation fuel burn-up. The diagram indicates that the
burst release temperature becomes lower with
increasing burn-up. This was reported by Vitanza et al.,
who measured the fuel centre-line temperature of
instrumented fuel rods in the Halden Reator. The
fractional fission gas release of the rods was above 1%.
This observed phenomena can be explained by the
as-sumption that the fission gas immobilization in the
uranium dioxide irradiated to a fluency of greater than
1018 fissions/ cm3 is mainly due to radiation induced
chemical activity.
Our hypothesis is that some of the oxygen positions
in the uranium dioxide unit cell are occupied by xenon
and krypton. Particular chemical compositions, UO1.75
Xe0.25 and UO1.75Kr0.25, which are the most likely of the
different chemical compositions, were considered in
order to check the feasibility of incorporating the xenon
or krypton atoms into the oxygen lattice positions of the
UO2 single crystal (see Fig. 1 for Xe).
crystallization all the existing gas in the UO2 crystal will
be released.
The grain growth model of Ainscough et al. is
generally considered to be the best available. It
incorporates the concept of a limiting grain size:
dD

D

[ m / h]
Dm
where k is a proportional constant, D – grain dia-meter
[µm], Dm – limiting grain size [µm] at which grain
growth ceases.
It is well known [MacEwan and Hayashi] that the
irradiation damage introduced by fission events has two
opposing effects on grain growth. The higher is the
burn-up the quicker the process of grain growth – and
simultaneously inhibits grain growth by limiting the
grain size.
Assuming that the Vitanza curve describes the
change of uranium dioxide re-crystallization
temperature during irradiation we have modified the
coefficients k and Dm as a function of burn-up in the
way given by the best fit of the grain size change with
the curve obtaining good agreement with the Vitanza
curve (see Fig. 2).

unit cell with Xe atom which hasreplaced anoxygen atom.
Calculations of Xe and Kr bonding abilities in the
single crystal of uranium dioxide using the “ab initio”
method have shown that the bond energy in the case of
xenon is equal to –1.23 eV and –3.42 eV in the case of
krypton. Since both energies are negative, such
a chemical bond can exist as a stable one and it further
convinces us that fission gas atoms are immobilized in
the grains of the uranium dioxide fuel as well.
Destruction of the unit cells can occur due to the
process of grain growth – the process of recrystallization. It is natural that during the process of re-

CFD studies of abnormal operation
of the Świerk Computing Centre (CIŚ) cooling system
S. Kozioł, T. Kwiatkowski, P. A. Prusiński
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Efficient cooling of large computer facilities is one
of the main concerns nowadays. It is also a reason why
the installation of a new computer cluster at CIŚ has
been delayed. A bottleneck that can only be checked by
means of CFD simulation is the so-called fluid divider
and this part became the subject of thorough studies.
The fluid divider, in general, could be described as
a multi-inlet and multi-outlet cooling medium collector
and it is used as a heat and mass exchanger (fig. 1.). It
also connects the primary cooling circuit of a computer
cluster (actually there are two redundant pipelines) with
its external circuits, i.e. with chillers (huge fans) on the
roof of the building.
Fig. 2. Non-uniform temperature distribution at the inlet of
one of the chillers.
Fig. 1.
Main stream of coolant in the fluid divider.
The problem investigated is that the automated
control system (ACS), which defines the rotational
speed of the chillers, which is attached to thermocouples
at the chiller inlets, does not follow actual parameters.
Thus, it is not working efficiently.
For this reason, five different operational modes
have been studied, i.e. with both or just one line of
primary circuit working or with different numbers of
chillers or simply with different mass flows at the inlets
etc.
Finally, it appears (fig. 2. & fig. 3.) that the source
of the problem is fast temperature oscillations, even up
to ±0.6°C/s (area-averaged value), at one of the chiller
inlets (CFD simulations results were collected in 1s
periods). It is worth mentioned that the time resolution
or inertia time of the ACS is 3 s. Theoretically, the
temperature could drop or rise nearly 2°C by this time,
while the range of operating temperatures is 12-18°C, so
quite narrow. As one can expect, the response of the
ACS will never be adequate to the actual situation.
Fig. 3. Pathlines: Influence of chiller AGCH4/5 outlet and
pumps of primary circuit on chiller AGCH1 inlet.
The problem, however, lies not in the inertia time of
the ACS, but mostly in the unfortunate location of one
of the chiller inlets that seemed to be too close to
another chiller outlet. The problem is even deeper,
because if one extends the collector between chiller inlet
and out-let spaces by 1 m, it will not give significant
improve-ment. More important here is e.g. the ratio
between the number of primary circuit lines to the
number of chillers. Also, it was proven that it is far
better to use only one primary circuit line than two at
the same time to feed the system with the same amount
of coolant not only to save energy consumption by
switching off one of the pumps, but also because one
stream has a lower tendency to avoid mixing in chillers.
Further studies are under way, by means of flow
simulations of new geometry design concepts.

The problem of efficient and safe management of
radioactive waste (RW) mostly from nuclear power is of
fundamental importance because till now many
thousand tons of spent nuclear fuel from working
nuclear plants have accumulated waiting for the
development of a final scenario of adequate
reprocessing. So, more and more effort is currently
being putinto the optimization of the RW recycling
chiefly using existing experimental subcritical devices
in order to investigate the possibility of RW incineration in parallel with long lived actinide transmutation
and attainable heat production.
In his work we modelled the time behaviour of the
neutron multiplication factor (NMF) keff, 233U
generation intensity and variation of transuranics and
minor actinides for four different geometric
configurations of the YALINA-Thermal Benchmark
(YTB) core (Fig.1) with fuel composition consisting of
different numbers of uranium rods and rods containing
232
Th mixed with depleted PWR fuel after GANEX
reprocessing. We have also examined the simultaneous
rare earth element accumulation in all four space
configurations. Particular attention is given to the safety
problem after switching off the external neutron source
of the facility. The modelling was performed using the
MCNPX code.
Very small radiotoxic isotope production while still
generating energy even in the case of thorium mixed
with spent nuclear fuel waste.
Overall rare earth element production increases in
the case of thorium based fuel compared to the
reference uranium fuel.

thorium (yellow circles) and 138 rods of EK-10 marked as red
circles. In the centre is the channel for an external driving
neutron source. Three small blue circlesdenote holes for
control rods. Three pink circles enclosed by bigger blue
circles are experimental channels. Four big blue circles at
thecorners are measurement channels in the core.
Of utmost practical importance is the problem
whether and at what conditions a subcritical reactor core
loaded with thorium fuel only and driven by an external
neutron source can reach the critical state. To clear up
this problem we modelled the time behaviour of keff of
a YTB core loaded with thorium rods only. It was also
assumed that the 5 MW power remains constant during
560 days of external neutron irradiation and is then
switched off. The results are displayed in Fig. 2.
The results obtained in our work [1] can be
summarized as follows:
Thorium rods provide sufficiently constant keff
considering only fission neutrons.
Spent nuclear fuel mixed with thorium can reach
appreciably higher burnup in thermal nuclear power
stations of ADS type.
In the case when thorium based fuel is applied in
a subcritical core operating all the time the reactor stays
at fixed keff after switching off an external driving
neutron source.

power of 5 MW is kept during 560 days than the external

The “Kanalia” application is a decision support

operators with the assessment of contamination of the
water that flows in the fuel channel. The user interface
is designed to work in modern internet browsers. The
main benefit of this modern approach is that the user
does not have to install any new software and the
application runs on almost all type of work-stations.
Moreover, the system itself is far more convenient to
manage and administer than it would be in the form of
a traditional application.

information about new measurements or any
contaminations peaks is automatically updated without
any type of webpage reloading.
Within the graphical interface the user can check
the history of all measurements and model predictions
for a specific fuel channel. Also one can compare these
data for several channels.
The next step in the development of Kanalia will be
calibration of the coefficient that informs the user about
the level of contamination. In the current form it is not
precise enough and requires further testing.

divided into two parts:
- a File manager allowing access to files in the user's
home folder, downloading and uploading;
- Ipython notebook: browser-based notebook with support for code, text, mathematical expressions, inline
plots and other rich media [1].
The key feature of the Kanalia application is the
real time analysis of data received from the reactor
WNEP system. The system measures the contamination
of each fuel channel in the Maria reactor and stores the
data in a database. The Kanalia server checks
periodically if there are new data in the database and
then adds them to the existing model. Data analysis
consists of creating a one-dimensional Kalman filter
model for each channel. Then the assessment of
contamination is based on the difference between the
newest data received for a specific channel and its
model prediction. The higher the model error the bigger
the is probability of increasing contamination in that
specific fuel channel.
Information about this probability for each channel
is presented to the user in the form of a special
coefficient based on the model error which is displayed
on the reactor scheme placed in the left side of the
interface. When the coefficient becomes too high the
application will alert the user by marking in red
The service is in the beta stage and will be
developed further.

KV scaling method applied to LOCA analysis for the LOFT
experimental facility and ZION NPP using RELAP5
R. Możdżonek, E. Skrzypek, M. Skrzypek
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
In the design basis accident the most dangerous
accident is a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). A double
ended guillotine break loss of coolant accident is one of
the largest break scenarios. It can lead to the uncovering
of the core due to lack of coolant and a severe accident
with radioactivity releases. During the investigation the
Large Break LOCA was analysed. The analysis was
prepared for the Zion Nuclear Power Plant model and
the safety key parameters were assessed. To assess the
correctness of the results from the LBLOCA simulation
in the ZION NPP, a scaled calculation was performed.
The input was modified according to the philosophy of
the scaling analysis and evaluated with the use of the
experimental data from the LOFT test facility. During
the scaling of the ZION NPP model the time preserving
scale method was used. This implies the conservation of
height and as much as possible of length of the scaled
system. The documentation of the ZION NPP was
shared to R&D institutes. It gave the possibility of
modelling an entire installation focusing on the primary
side of the NPP. After that many thermal-hydraulic
analyses could be performed, i.e. loss of coolant
accident, loss of flow accident or station blackout.
Making a model of nodalization which will be suitable
for the projection of the L2-5 experiment it was
necessary to implement some changes related to plant
description and transient features. The primary side
modelled in the RELAP5 code was divided into three
intact loops and a broken loop. Each of the intact loops
was equipped with an emergency core cooling systems
(ECCS): LPIS and accumulator.
Part of the qualitative analysis is the presentation of
the time trends of relevant thermal-hydraulic
parameters, selected examples are summarized in the
Table 1. The example of the comparison between the
experiment and scaled calculation results is presented in
Figure 1 – time trends of integral break mass flow
experiment and Kv ZION NPP with uncertainty bounds.
RELAP5 is a best estimate code and therefore it is
rec-ommended to perform an uncertainty analysis [2].
The aim of this analysis is to identify and evaluate
potentially important uncertain parameters. The outputs
of the code are affected by uncertainties coming from
sources such as the code model, plant parameters, which
are caused by scatter of measured values, approximation
of modelling as well as variation of initial and boundary
conditions.
Fig. 1. Time trends of integral break mass flow.
The uncertainty analysis for the Zion Kv scaled
model was performed based on the Monte Carlo
methodology [2]. The same simulation with variations
in certain input pa-rameters was run 1000 times. Values
of the parameters were drawn from different probability
density functions (usually normal and uniform ones).
The lower and upper uncertainty bounds correspond to
the distribution of 1st and 99th percentiles.

Along with fuel conversion form Highly Enriched
Uranium (HEU) to Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) in the
MARIA research reactor and the introduction of new
MC-5/485 type fuel elements into the reactor core, there
was a need to develop new thermal-hydraulics models
of channels with these new fuel elements. For this purpose new models of MR-6/430 and MC-5/485 fuel
elements have been developed using the CATHARE2
and RELAP5 system codes. At the same time point
a kinetics model was created in RELAP5.

model in the RELAP5 code. Due to the presence of
beryllium in the reactor core, the number of groups of
delayed neutrons must be extended to include
photoneutrons emitted by the moderator. The model of
reactivity feedback includes the Doppler effect, the
presence of samarium and xenon, the effects resulting
from the change of temperature of beryllium and water
in the pool. Effects are to be appplied to the thermalhydraulic model with RELAP5 kinetics module through
general feedback options, control variables and
reactivity tables.
In anemergency situation it is important to know if
there will be the threat of pump flooding. That is why an
analysis of the water levels in the MARIA reactor pump
house after a leakage accident was made. The prepared
algorithm allowed the water level after flow in to the
pump room with a specified amount of water to br
predicted. It can also be used for other simulations or
calculations.
Fig. 3.Water level in the pump house.
In the future these models will be connected together
to provide steady-state and transient safety analyses of
the entire fuel cooling circuit.

Validation of the thermal-hydraulic and severe accident codes
by modelling experimental facilities
K. Samul, E. Skrzypek, M. Skrzypek, M. Spirzewski
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Validation of computer codes is a process essential
for the safety of the nuclear power plants and nuclear
facilities. The basic approach to the validation process
in the De-terministic Analysis Team is achieved by
modelling phenomena, experimental facilities and tests,
which are focused on simulating specific phenomena
present during accident conditions in real NPPs. Recent
activities undertaken in code validation were: two test
facilities – LOFT (Loss of Fluid Test Facility) and
HEFUS3 (Helium cooled test facility) as well as Dryout
phenomena validation (based on two experiments
performed at KTH, Sweden).

cooled reactor technology to the nuclear energy
industry. One of the neces-sary activities during this
project was to validate the se-vere accident tools for
GCR. The Team took part in the benchmark established
by ÚJV Řež, based on the experimental data from the
HEFUS3 loop, modelled by the use of two severe

RELAP5/SCDAPSIM. Three simulated scenarios were
1st and 4th steady state and Loss of Flow Accident
transient – compressor slowdown. The results are in
good agreement with the measured experimental data.
Bench-marks showed the capabilities for the prediction
of relevant thermal-hydraulic aspects using severe
accident tools.
To prepare NCBJ for the future role of Technical
Support Organisation, a LOFT model has been prepared
with the use of the RELAP5 code. The LOFT facility
has been de-signed to simulate physical phenomena
which may be observed in Pressurized Water Reactors
(PWR) during normal operation and accidents. Tests
which have been modelled simulate a double ended
break in the cold leg. Nuclear fuel is the source of the
energy which is the unique feature of the LOFT facility.
Values of the thermohydraulic parameters have been
compared with experimental data. The results of the
comparison shows that properties of the thermalhydraulic parameters of the model are in good
agreement with their experimental values.

In water cooled nuclear reactors the critical heat
flux (CHF) phenomenon is one of the main design
constraints, since it sets an upper limit to the possible
power production. This limitation can be directly
translated as a dryout criterion. The dryout phenomenon
can be described when there is no water for heat
removal.
Annual Report 2013
interpolation of the GROENEVELD table. This
situation and an increasing need for accurate dryout
predictions as reactor fuels become more optimized, has
promoted an increased interest in phenomenological
dryout modelling.
The main goal is of course to predict correctly the
dryout power, but to be sure that the model really
captures the mechanism of the dryout phenomenon it
should be compared to direct measurements of the
liquid film. As far as liquid film is concerned it is
governed only by the entrainment phenomenon in
CATHARE-2 with the deposition model discarded.
Soon, the CATHARE-3 code, with a 3 field
approach (liquid, vapour and film flows – one set of
equations for each field) will be delivered. The newest
code has models for the all required phenomena
implemented so better results are anticipated.
The code used by our Team is called CATHARE-2
and this version is under validation. Results of the
experiment simulation showed unsatisfactory agreement
in dryout power as well as film flow measurements.
These discrepancies come from the critical heat flux
correlation which in one part is represented by

The multipurpose high flux research reactor
MARIA is a water and beryllium moderated reactor of
pool type with graphite reflector and pressurised
channels containing concentric tube assemblies of fuel
elements (Fig. 1, 2). It has been designed to provide
a high degree of flexibility.

The MARIA reactor reached its first criticality in
December 1974. The reactor was in operation until 1985
when it was shut down for modernization. The
modernization
encompassed
refurbishment
and
upgrading of technological systems. In particular, the
efficiency of the ventilation and cooling systems was
improved. In 1993 the MARIA reactor was put into
operation again.

The fuel channels are situated in a matrix
containing beryllium blocks and enclosed by a lateral
reflector made of graphite blocks in aluminium cans.
The MARIA reactor is equipped with vertical channels
for irradiation of target materials, a rabbit system for
short irradiations and six horizontal neutron beam
channels.
The main characteristics and data of the MARIA reactor
are as follows:
- nominal power

In 2013 the reactor completed 26 operational cycles
at power levels from 30 kW to 25 MW (Fig. 3). The
overall operation time was 3180 h.
236
Annual Report 2013
Fig. 3. Schedule of ”MARIA” reactor operation in 2013.
In the period June-September the reactor did not
operate due to the realisation of a big modernisation
task. This task was related to modernization of the
fuel channel primary cooling system. In the place of
4 old main pumps new pumps with a higher flow rate
were installed and additionally 3 shutdown pumps
were installed. This modernization was based on the
realization of the reactor core conversion programme
associated with the implementation of the LEU fuel
fabricated by the AREVA company. This fuel needs
to be cooled by water with higher flow rates.
The main activities carried out at the MARIA reactor
were focused on:

irradiation of target materials in the vertical
channels and in the rabbit system

neutron scattering for condensed matter studies
with neutron beams from the reactor horizontal
channel

neutron radiography studies

neutron modification of crystals and minerals


The MC-5 fuel assemblies have 19,75%
enrichment and 485g of 235U. The MR-6 type fuel
assemblies have 36% enrichment and 430g of 235U.
The release of fission products from this fuel is very
low and achievable burn-up is over 50%.
In 2013 the conversion process of the Maria core
to low-enriched fuel with enrichment of 19.75% in
235
U was realised. This process is being realised
progressively, i.e. highly enriched fuel of the MR-6
type is to be replaced, one by one, by low enriched
fuel of the MC-5 type, fabricated by the AREVA
company.
In 2013 two prototype fuel assemblies with
19,75% enrichment and 485g of 235U were tested.
These assemblies made of UO2-Al alloy are Russian
production and if the results of testing is be positive
they will be used in future reactor operation.
The core configuration has been changed several
times because of fuel and irradiation requirements.
The core configuration of October 2013 consisting of
22 fuel assemblies and 2 special channels for 99Mo
production is presented in Fig. 4.
In 2013 the MARIA reactor was operated
successfully. The reactor scram was activated 4 times,
for a short time, so there was no necessity to shorten
the operation cycles.
Operational availability factors were asfollows:
where OT (operational time) denotes the number of
hours on power and NH is the sum of the number of
hours on power and the number of unscheduled
shutdowns.
In 2013 the total emissions of radioactive materials to
the environment were:

inert gases (mainly 41Ar): 1·1012 Bq, i.e. 0.8% of
the limit determined by the NAEA

iodine: 9.2·107Bq, i.e. 1.8% of the limit
determined by the NAEA
88

Rb and 138Cs: 5.4·107 Bq
The yearly emissions of the noble gases, iodines and
aerosols are presented in Figs. 5,6,7.
In 2013 97 workers received measurable whole body
doses from 0.2 to 2,03 mSv and 8 workers received skin
doses from 0.11 to 3.45 mSv

Neutron irradiation services
Neutron irradiation services provided at the MARIA
research reactor include radioisotope production,
neutron transmutation doping of silicon, neutron
activation analyses and biomedical technology.
Available services cover the activation of a large
variety of target materials for the production of isotopes, which can be processed at the discretion of the
customer. Irradiation services are performed in various
facilities constructed in the MARIA reactor, depending
on the required neutron flux levels, irradiation times,
target mass and geometry. The standard vertical in-core
isotope channels as well as special ones equipped with a
hydraulic transport system are in operation.
For domestic customers targets of S, TeO2, Lu2O3,
Yb2O3, Cu, Se, SmCl3 and KCl were irradiated (Fig.8).
Most of them were produced for the Radioisotope
Centre of the National Centre for Nuclear Research.
Among them, irradiation of the 192Ir seeds used for
Intravascular Radiation Therapy (IRT) and low activity
192
Ir source ribbon for Oncology Applications, was
continued. Total annual isotope production reached
633.9 TBq in 2013.
Neutron irradiation services utilizing the MARIA
reactor also include the colouring of topaz minerals. The
irradiation of the mineral in special channels located
outside the reactor core changes its clear natural state to
shades of blue, thereby increasing the commercial value
of the product. Blue topaz is released to the market as
non-radioactive material, conforming to strict
international criteria.
Nuclear reactors remain a key component in the
production of useful isotopes, mainly for nuclear
medicine treatments. A key medical isotope is 99mTc,
which is a decay product of 99Mo. One of the possible
sources of 99Mo can be achieved in the course of the
235
U fission reaction. The main objective of 235U
irradiation is to obtain the 99mTc isotope, which is
widely used in the domain of medical diagnostic. The
99m
Tc from a source of decaying 99Mo can be easily
transported to hospitals, where it is extracted and used
for a variety of nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures.
Annual Report 2013
238
Current technology for 99Mo production is based on
usage of a loop that contains a standard fuel channel
equipped with its own control infrastructure for irradiating high-enriched uranium targets (HEU). Realization of the molybdenum programme has confirmed
the correctness of the irradiation technology developed
at the Maria reactor. Due to a shortage of deliveries of
99
Mo, as was observed during the first months of 2013,
as a result of technical problems with the HFR reactor in
Petten, the total number of uranium targets irradiated in
the Maria reactor was significantly increased. In 2013
irradiated 288 uranium targets. The quantity of 99Mo
delivered to the global market covered about 15% of
global demand for this radioisotope.
Following the GTRI (Global Threat Redyction
Initiative) and the shortage of the key medical radioisotope 99Mo and its daughter 99mTc, related to the longterm reliability of the MARIA reactor it has declared its
readiness to irradiate new designed LEU targets. The
first step, supporting such a conversion, is certification
of the new LEU targets. The programme is performed
under collaboration with Mallinckrodt Medical b.v. and
with HFR reactors (Netherlands) and BR-2 (Belgium).
The programme includes safety analysis calculations,
out-of reactor mechanical, hydraulic and vibration tests.
At the same time a new programme dedicated to irradiation of HEU cylindrical type targets for the Belgian
company IRE has been started.
Based on the feasibility study and experience on
irradiation of 235U targets in the MARIA reactor a new
project for production of 99Mo as “Molybdenum Świerk
Project” is being developed. The project of a production facility foresees the adaptation of the existing
infrastructure in MARIA reactor and the infrastructure
of POLATOM for 99Mo/99mTc generators assembling

The purpose of this study was to prepare and test
a method for the determination of the fast fluence of the
beryllium matrix in the MARIA reactor core. The
method was based on the results of operation and
a diffusion model and took into account data from 2010
to 2013. The results of this work were used to verify the
method used previously by the operator.
The moderator in the MARIA reactor core is
a beryllium matrix, consisting of 45 blocks. Each block
is exposed to a fast neutron flux, originating with the
fission. The moderator slows down the neutrons from
fast to thermal by scattering. However, fast neutrons can
be absorbed by beryllium blocks by the (n,γ) reaction,
where and 3He isotopes are produced. The 6Li and 3H
are strong absorbers, therefore they determine the
poisoning of the beryllium matrix.
The fast fluence of the beryllium blocks increases
with time, which causes degradation of the mechanical
and nuclear properties of the moderator. The reason is
the presence of the gas tritium, helium, including
α particles (helium nucleus) and protons (hydrogen
nucleus). The beryllium block fluence does not measure
the material exhaustion, but is the simplest criterion for
estimation of its effects, including the gas generation
rate.
The developed method is based on the fact that the
sum of the beryllium, lithium, tritium and helium
concentrations is constant in time and is equal to the
initial beryllium concentration. Additionally the sum of
the lithium, tritium and helium concentrations is linearly
dependent on the fast fluence which the block has
received. In this work, the linear dependence was
determined which introduced the possibility of an
instant fluence calculation (without considering the
whole irradiation history of each beryllium block). Due
to the character of operational calculations, the fluence
can be determined promptly.
Method used by the operator gave fluence values
over 1.5 times higher than the proposed method, which
is based on the sum of the isotopic concentrations. This
discrepancy is mainly caused by the more conservative
approach used in the operator’s method. The operator’s
method assumes that the contribution to the fluence
from neighbouring beryllium blocks simply sums.
The analysis shows that under the current neutron
fluence limit specified in the operational safety report,
lengthen the shelf-life of the beryllium matrix of the
MARIA reactor core may be lengthened.

National Centre for Nuclear Research, Radioisotope Centre POLATOM, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The R&D Department of the Radioisotope Centre
POLATOM carries out research programmes related to
the application of radioactive preparations and
radiolabelled compounds in various fields of medicine,
research and industry and which include basic research
as well as development and implementation of new
technologies. In particular, these studies are related to
the development of methods and technologies for high
specific activity radionuclides produced by neutron
irradiation in the Maria Research Reactor; development
of production technologies for cyclotron radionuclides,
development of new markers for diagnostics and
radionuclide therapy based on active biological carriers,
such as peptides and monoclonal antibodies; novel
technologies for radiosynthesis of markers for PET
diagnostics; multifunctional markers based on
nanoparticles, etc.; as well as development of analytical
and biological methods for evaluation of the efficacy of
newly developed radiopharmaceuticals.
In 2013 the modern “Laboratory of Preclinical
Studies” for radiopharmaceuticals testing was launched
in the R&D Department. The laboratory has been
equipped with systems and cabinets, ensuring high
hygienic standards for laboratory animals. More
specialized and sophisticated animal models of human
cancers can now be handled. A small animal gamma
camera and optical imaging system allow
comprehensive in vivo investigation of new tracers.
The results of our investigations are directly
implemented in the development and improvement of
technologies at our Centre. The R&D Department
contributes to the pharmaceutical documentation
required in the process of Marketing Authorization for
novel radiopharmaceuticals, in accordance with the
current relevant regulations.
Currently, the R&D Department is involved in projects
financed by the Polish grant institutions, National
Centre for Research and Development and National
Science
Centre. These were:

The International Atomic Energy Agency in
Vienna intiated in 2012 the coordinated research project
“Accelerator-based alternatives to non-HEU production
of Mo-99/Tc-99m (IAEA No. 17419). Based on our
participation in this project a consortium of the National
Centre for Nuclear Research Radioisotope Centre
POLATOM (POLATOM) in Otwock, the Institute of
Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) in Warsaw
and the Heavy Ion Laboratory (HIL) of the University
of Warsaw has been established to work together on
alternative methods of 99mTc production within the PBS
I project. This project is coordinated by POLATOM.
Alternatively, the two-electrode system can be used
with two separated chambers comprising Mo foils as
working electrode and Pt foil as counter electrode under
the following conditions: a constant potential of 4V and
a temperature of the electrolyte solution of 60°C, during
60 min, about 85% of the metallic molybdenum was
oxidized and passed into the solution.
Experimental work has been concentrated on the
following topics:
1. Preparation of molybdenum targets for irradiation
with protons.
2. Dissolution of molybdenum targets.
3. Separation of
molybdenum.

Tc from large excesses of
POLATOM has tried the electrodeposition of Mo
from aqueous solutions on Pt electrodes [1]. The
deposition was complete but the layer obtained was not
conductive. Work on deposition from molten salts
media has been initiated. A suitable furnace operating
up to 1280°C in an inert gas atmosphere was purchased
and experimental trials have begun.
Another way to prepare molybdenum for
irradiation is to press metal powder into pellets and
sinter them in a hydrogen atmosphere at 1600°C. The
pellets shrink and density, hardness and mechanical
strength increase. Further tests are in progress. For
comparison, pellets before and after sintering are
presented in Fig.1 while Fig.2 shows a microscopic
cross section of pellets before and after sintering.
At the HIL an external irradiation station for target
irradiation is being constructed. After completion,
irradiation by a proton beam will be started. Two kinds
of self-supporting targets of natural Mo were prepared:
pellets of thickness from 500 to 2000 µm, and a foil of
10 µm after rolling a molybdenum bead. Preparatory
and design phases of a target holder have been finished.
An automatic control system for this device based on a
PLC controller has been developed and implemented in
a PLC module.
In POLATOM molybdenum metal as powder
(100 µm grain size) and foil (1 mm thick) has been
successfully dissolved in sodium hydroxide and
hydrogen per-oxide at 70°C in about 30 min.

Using aqueous biphasic extraction chromatography
(ABEC) carrier-free 99mTc has been separated on a RP
C-18 polyethylene glycol modified column with
approximately 90% yield in 50 mL of water as eluent.
In another separation method using a Dowex-1 anion
exchanger column [2] 99mTc was separated with
approximately 78% yield. Both separation methods will
be further developed. Another possibility of 99mTc
separation has been developed at INCT using
molybdenum phosphate (AMP) precipitation followed
by ion exchange purification.

The laboratory of radioactivity standards of the Radioisotope Centre
POLATOM
T. Dziel, Z. Tymiński
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Radioisotope Centre POLATOM, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
The Laboratory of Radioactivity Standards (LRS)
of the Radioisotope Centre POLATOM, National
Centre for Nuclear Research, in Otwock-Świerk, is the
only laboratory in Poland performing radioactivity
measurements of -, and -emitters by absolute
methods and performing calibration of standard
solutions and radioactive sources.
The President of the Central Office of Measures in
Poland (GUM) established in 1999 the National
Standard of Radionuclide Activity in Poland. The
standard is stored and used at the LRS. The LRS has
implemented and maintained a quality management
system compliant with the international standard
ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The accreditation certificate
awarded by the Polish Centre for Accreditation
(accreditation no. AP 120) is the confirmation of our
technical competence as a calibration laboratory. In
2013 the accreditation scope was extended for activity
measurements with the use of a new TRI-CARB 2910
TR liquid scintillation counter.
In 2013 the LRS organized a proficiency test of
activity measurements of 90Y and 89Sr with nuclear
medicine departments in Polish hospitals. The overall
performance of the participants varied significantly, and
the values of the calibration factor used during activity
assay and the underestimation of uncertainties by the
participants appear to be the main sources of error. The
results will be presented during the conference of Polish
Association of Nuclear Medicine in May 2014.
The LRS also participates in international key
comparisons of radioactivity measurements, enabling
linking to the global system of national standards. These
comparisons are organized by the International Bureau
of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and the European
Association of National Metrology Institutes
EURAMET. The laboratory also participates in comparisons within the framework of the International
Reference System (SIR).

In 2013 the LRS participated in the international comparison of 57Co and 134Cs radioactivity measurements
organized within the framework of SIR. The results of
57
Co measurements are presented graphically in Fig.1.
Our result is the last on the right.
The RC POLATOM is recognized by the Central Office
of Measures in Poland as a Designated Institute (DI).
Therefore, it is entitled to have direct contacts with
EURAMET and participation in scientific projects
supported by this organization. In 2013 the LRS carried
out two projects coordinated by EURAMET on the
application of ionization radiation metrology in
environmental sciences and industry.
IND04 MetroMetal “Ionizing radiation metrology
for the metallurgical industry”
Recycled scrap loads that enter steel mills usually
undergo tests for radioactive contamination with
radiation detection portals. This is in order to detect
hidden orphan radioactive sources that could lead to
negative effects such as radioactive contamination of
the furnace, expensive clean-up costs, the leaking of
radioactive substances into the environment or external
irradiation of foundry workers, or even the general
population.

months of the project. Currently the RC POLATOM is
participating in a comparison of 151Sm activity
measurements and half-life determination.
All medium-active or low-active waste must be
characterized before being stored in repositories. For
these purposes a prototype free-release measurement
facility (FRMF) based on four HPGe detectors was
constructed. To get reliable results from the FRMF three
large volume calibration standards for different types of
waste were developed:
Fig. 2. View of the simulated HPGe detector and measurement
chamber model used for validation of Monte Carlo codes in
IND04.
This JRP is addressing these issues by developing
reliable, SI traceable methods optimized for the
control/measurement of radioactivity at each stage of
the smelting process. In the last year of the project such
methods were prepared and a description will be
available soon for the project end-users. The main tasks
realized in the RC POLATOM were connected to the
calibration standards. Reference materials containing
the radionuclides 60Co, 226Ra and 137Cs were produced
by project partners and characterized in POLATOM by
applying unique techniques and methods. The matrix of
the standards represents 3 different types: cast steel, slag
and fume dust respectively.
Monte Carlo simulations of the detector system
based on the PENELOPE code were prepared for
optimization of the spectrometric device (Fig. 2). The
results from the LRS contribute to the inter-comparisons
proposed for choosing the best solution for the
measurement system design.

The calibration standards fulfill the criteria that
govern the development of radioactive standards such as
homogeneity of activity distribution in the matrix, its
apparent density and the activity concentration of each
radionuclide as well. The LRS participated, with
positive results, in a series of comparisons of
radionuclide activity determinations in different
matrices which led to the development of the above
mentioned standards.
One of the technical LWR achievements in 2013 is
the development and construction of a new 4π(LS)-γ
coincidence and anticoincidence system (TDKG) with
a TDCR detector in the LS-channel and NaI(Tl) – in the
-channel with a FPGA-based digital platform.
ENV09 MetroRWM “Metrology for radioactive
waste management”
The operation of nuclear facilities and their
decommissioning, once their life cycle ends, must be
done in such a way as to minimize environmental
impact by accurately measuring the radioactivity of
radionuclides in waste and environmental samples,
using standardized and traceable measurement methods.
During the last year of the project, the following
were developed: standardized traceable measurement
methods for solid radioactive waste, novel instruments
and methods for in-situ measurements, gaseous effluent
monitors/samplers for stored waste, and standard
sources and reference materials. The decay data for
long-lived radionuclides will be improved in the next

Analysis of nuclear centre personnel exposure derived from alpha emitters
K. Rzemek, M. Dymecka, J. Ośko, T. Pliszczyński, M. Tulik
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Introduction
The nuclear facilities staff is a group of workers
potentially occupationally exposed to radiation doses
derived from external and internal exposure.
Assessment of external exposure is carried out by
individual dosimeters, which enable the dose derived
from beta and gamma radioisotopes and also from
neutron radiation to be determined.
A preliminary analysis of the urine in order to
estimate the internal exposure for alpha emitters was
performed. No plutonium and americium isotope
contamination was detected.
The internal exposure (intake of α, β and
γ radioisotopes into the body) is measured by routine in
vivo and in vitro methods. The α-radioactive elements
are much more radiotoxic than other radioisotopes.
Therefore, monitoring of internal contamination is
widely recognized as essential for the safety of people.
This monitoring is based on measurements of
radionuclide activity in biological samples (in vitro
methods) or environmental samples (water, air, etc.).
The Radiation Protection Measurements Laboratory
is responsible for monitoring of internal exposure of National Centre for Nuclear Research staff. The aim of this
work was to extend the internal monitoring capabilities
of the LPD.
Materials and methods
In order to assess the internal exposure of personnel the
following analyses were performed:
•
samples of water from the primary circuit of the
MARIA reactor (fuel elements, cooling water,
reactor pool),
•
urine samples from workers potentially exposed to
internal contamination.
Depending on the nature of the sample and the type of
isotope, the appropriate radiochemical procedure, which
allows for element separation, was used.
Results
Plutonium and americium isotopes were detected in the
primary cooling circuit (of fuel elements and the reactor
pool). The alpha spectrum of plutonium isotopes in
analyzed samples is presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Fig. 2. The spectrum of plutonium isotopes obtained in the
Alpha Analyst spectrometer for the secondary water cooling
circuit of the MARIA reactor.
Conclusions
The results of the analyses of theprimary cooling
circuit water samples confirmed the presence of
actinides (239Pu, 238Pu, 241Am), which is a result of the
238
U activation in the fuel and on the surface of the fuel
element cans. Actinides can be released into the cooling
circuit as a result of defects and corrosion of fuel
element cladding.
The presence of actinides in the reactor coolant
indicates potential contamination of personnel involved
in the operation of the reactor, who should be monitored
for intake of alpha emitters.
The limits of detection of the proposed method
allow the activity corresponding to an effective dose of
0.6 mSv (238Pu and 239Pu) and 0.2 mSv (241Am) to be
measured, assuming that the measurement was
performed 30 days after the contamination.
The results of this work were presented during the
6th Na-tional Conference on Radiochemistry and
Nuclear Chemistry [1].

EURADOS intercomparison exercise on MC modelling
for the in-vivo monitoring of AM-241 in skull phantoms
K. Tymińska, J. Ośko
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Introduction
This work was done under the NCBJ cooperation
with EURADOS. Working Group 7, “Internal
dosimetry” and Working Group 6, “Computational
dosimetry” organized an intercomparison exercise on
MC modelling for the in-vivo monitoring of 241Am in
skull phantoms. The project was focused on the
simulation and measurement of 241Am activity in the
skull. The action consisted of three tasks, with
increasing complexity. The first task started with fixed
conditions and each subsequent task required more lab
specific data. All participating laboratories were
encouraged to solve as many of the tasks as they could
handle.
Materials and methods
A germanium detector containing a crystal of
50 mm diameter and 10 mm thickness was used for the
reference measurement. The first task concerned
modelling of the measurement of a hemispherical semianatomical phantom. The voxel representation of this
phantom was created from CT measurements of the
physical phantom. The intercomparison participants
received a fully segmented and labelled phantom with
material descriptions. All surface voxels of the bone
equivalent material were identified by a unique voxel
identifier and treated as a source region. Participants
were instructed to use the 241Am radionuclide data as
supplied in the intercomparison instructions. Processing
of detection efficiency followed a similar procedure i.e.:
all data were normalized by a value obtained from
a reference measurement, and then the geometrical
mean and geometric standard deviation (GSD) were
calculated.
Results
Fig. 1 displays the simulated spectrum obtained by
us compared to that from the physical measurement.
Both results are in very good agreement.
The maximum deviation of the detection efficiency
of a single result from the GM did not exceed ±5%.
However, all reported values underestimated the
detection efficiency obtained from the physical
measurement, as depicted in Fig. 2. The result initially
obtained by us (marked) was inflated due to wrong
gamma yield normalization. After normalization
correction the simulation result was very close to the
average value.

measurement result [1].

Conclusions
The simulated spectra agree rather well with the
measurements even in the low energy region. The
majority of the responses did not need any correction
and the number of incorrect results was less than in
a previous exercise of a similar kind [2]. Overall
knowledge in this research area utilising MC techniques
appears to have improved and the repetition of the
intercomparison exercise has positively affected the
skills of the participating laboratories.
The result of subsequent tasks (2 and 3) are being
ana-lyzed and their results will be published later.

Study of the influence of the B4C layer thickness on the neutron flux
and energy distribution shape in a multi‐electrode ionization chamber

The most common methods used for determining
the of neutron spectrum are on the measurements of
recoil proton energy or the use of sets of moderators
with different thicknesses, like in a Bonner spheres
method, which offers good accuracy and is often
considered as a reference method. A serious
shortcoming of the method is the necessity of replacing
the Bonner spheres and repeating measurements, so the
neutron should be constant in time. Moreover, the
method is time - and labour-consuming. Both these
factors significantly limit the use of Bonner spheres in
routine measurements.
Another possible approach is to place thermal
neutron detectors at different depths in a moderator and
to irradiate all of them at the same time. The new idea,
investigated in this work, was to design a multielectrode ionization chamber with electrodes made of
moderating material. The electrodes would be covered
with a thin layer of B4C, so it could be expected that the
signal would be mostly from alpha particles generated
in reactions of thermal neutrons with 10B nuclei. The
chamber is irradiated from the top, so the neutrons pass
through all the electrodes and the values of the
ionization current are measured separately in each of the
consecutive intraelectrode gas volumes.
A model of a multi-electrode ionization chamber,
with polypropylene electrodes coated with a thin layer
of B4C was created within the MCNPX and FLUKA
codes [1].
The influence of the layer thickness on the neutron
absorption in B4C and on the neutron spectra in the
consecutive intraelectrode gas volumes has been studied
using the MCNPX and FLUKA codes [2].
Fig. 1. Model of the multi-electrode chamber created using the
FLUKA code.
The multi-electrode ionization chamber (Fig. 1)
consists of 21 polarizing and collecting electrodes
placed alternately. Each of the polarizing electrodes is
coated on both sides with a thin layer of boron carbide
(B4C), in order to absorb thermal and epithermal
neutrons. The gas filling the chamber is dry air.
Electrodes, side panels, front panel, rear panel, top and
bottom plates as well as the columns are made of
conductive polypropylene.
The calculations of the neutron flux were performed
for simulated irradiation with a 252Cf source assuming
various B4C layer thicknesses. All the results are
presented per one neutron entering the chamber.
Influence of the neutron spectrum on the B4C layer
thickness is illustrated in Fig. 2. The deepest electrode
has been chosen for presentation. It can be seen that the
neutrons of lower energies are effectively absorbed in
the boron carbide. Even the thinnest layer considered is
sufficient for effective absorption of thermal and
epithermal neutrons.
Fig. 2. Neutron flux on the lowest electrode calculated with
the MCNPX code for various values of the B4C layer
thickness.
This work is devoted to modelling such a chamber
and neutron spectra in consecutive intraelectrode
volumes using the MCNPX and FLUKA codes. The
results will be used for designing a new chamber for
neutron beam dosimetry.

A multi-layer recombination chamber as an active neutron spectrometer

Neutron spectra can be measured with a Bonner
Ball Neu-tron Detector (BBND) which is a small
counter placed at the centre of moderating spheres with
size ranging from 2 to 12 inches. Significant
disadvantages of this method are time-consuming
measurements with the need for complex planning,
changing different sizes of moderator and man-ually
calculating the result which in an unknown radiation
field is very difficult because of the initial prediction of
the neutron spectra.
A new type of neutron detector has been designed
[1], which combines a neutron spectrometer and
a recombination chamber. The idea behind the multilayer recombination chamber was to allow spectrum
determination the of targeted neutron beam, i.e.
neutrons coming from one direction e.g. a reactor beam
hole or accelerator. The second goal was significantly to
decrease the time of the measurements, because a whole
neutron spectrum can be calculated with only one
measurement, without changing different sizes of
moderator.
These goals were achieved by a construction based
on a multi electrode ionization chamber and using
polarizing electrodes as moderating discs made of
material containing hydrogen. Polarizing and signal
electrodes are placed alternately so that the neutron
energy is lowered with each pass through a polarizing
electrode and therefore the signal coming from each
signal electrode corresponds to a specific energy of the
incident neutron beam. Signals coming from all signal
electrodes are measured simultaneously in order to
extract information after each step of the moderation
process. In order to increase sensitivity to thermal
neutrons over other types of radiation, the multi-layered
recombination chamber has to be filled with a gas with
a high cross section for thermal neutrons such as boron10. Signals are acquired by an electrometer or set of
electrometers measuring the charge collected by each
signal electrode (proportional to the thermal neutron
flux) or the current flowing through the electrode
(proportional to the thermal neutron beam density).
The advantage of a multi-layered recombination
chamber is a less time-consuming spectrum
measurement and no need for monitoring neutron beam
density variations during measurements.
Proper thicknesses of the moderator were calculated
during the modelling process, using the Monte Carlo
codes FLUKA and MCNPX [2].
Fig. 1. Model of the multi-layer chamber for the MC
calculation.
The detector consists of 8 disc shaped signal
electrodes (1 mm thick) and 9 polarizing electrodes of
different thicknesses (from 1 mm to 40 mm) placed
alternately with 5 mm distance from each other. First
and last polarizing electrodes (1 mm thick) only produce
an electric field and the other polarizing electrodes are
additionally serve as moderators. The multi-layer
recombination chamber was designed so that the
deepest polarizing electrode corresponds to a 12 inch
Bonner Sphere. Therefore, one measurement is able to
cover the whole range of the neutron spectrum (from
10-7 MeV to 102 MeV). In the case of higher energy
neutrons the use of a 5 inch polyethylene disc as shield
is proposed.

chamber.

HDR radiotherapy using a photon needle (PN)
M. Słapa, M. Traczyk, K. Wincel, B. Zaręba
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw, Poland
During 2013 the main focus of activity was on
development of the corrective lenses for the PN to
assure surface isotropy (X,Y) of the X radiation from
the PN.
The PN allows the placement of the rtg. lamp target
within the target or its close vicinity. This in turn allows
an X-ray high dose deposition within the object of
interest, thus reducing the radiation time to several
minutes. The PN is a “point” source of spherical
isotropy of the applied X-ray radiation. Irradiation
treatment based solely on spherical isotropy seems to
utilize only a part of the full potential of PN
radiotherapy.
simulation for approaching the isodose on a circular
surface of 40 mm diameter. The calculations were
performed for a lens of spherical (bowl) shape made
from PMMA material. All calculations were performed
based on the MCNP5 transport code with MCNPDATA
cross-sections library. [1],[2].
Fig. 2. Dose distribution in water for different lens parameters.
The results indicate that increasing the lens
thickness leads to a decrease of the average dose, but
improves the radiation isotropy.
The best isotropy was obtained for a lens of 5 mm
thickness with an average dose of 1 Gy/min. and
standard variation <10%. Further improvement of the
isotropy could be obtained by modification of the lens
shape. One estimates that the time needed to gain the
deposited dose of 20 Gy (on a circular surface of
40 mm diameter) is equal to 10 minutes. This time concerns the PN working at full power.
Fig. 1. Model of the Photon Needle with corrective lens.
The proposed device with the corrective lenses is
depicted in Fig. 1. The anode of the rtg. PN lamp is
placed within a specially designed collimator with the
lens. The design of the collimator assures full
absorption of the X-ray from the PN. The choice of
appropriate lens may, and should, assure isotropic
radiation on the circular surface of the diameter equal to
that of the collimator (2R).
The Monte Carlo simulation of the dose surface
distribution was performed based on three parameters:
surface diameter (2R), lens curvature and lens material.
The calculations were performed for a PN rtg. lamp of
Ua=50 kV, and Ia=20 μA. Fig. 2 depicts a sample MC
It should be stated that the PN with corrective
lenses might be regarded as an X-ray source which
assures isotropic dose distribution. Such a source,
precisely located in space, can fulfil the radiotherapy
HDR conditions.
Thanks to this, it could be counted as an extremely
interesting, innovative device in radiotherapy.

Air pollution is not an only environmental but also
a public health problem of growing interest. Dust and
gaseous pollutants mainly originate from combustion
exhausts of industry and road traffic. Dust may also be
raised and some of the pollutants may be natural.
The environmental measurements laboratory aims
to carry out diverse investigations of air quality. It is
being equipped with a new set of apparatus designed for
atmospheric air monitoring which were mounted in
a mobile container (Fig. 1).
For example the ultrafine particle monitor measures
PM1, the most dangerous fraction of dust for health.
With the optical particle sizer particle size distributions
as well as dust concentrations may be obtained. A set of
automatic gas analyzers (NOx, CO, O3) aims to measure
traffic gaseous pollutants precisely in heavy traffic
highways and cities, thus being an important
component of the laboratory. This enables simultaneous
measurements of gaseous and dust pollutants along
with meteo data obtained from the meteorological set.
The mobile air quality monitoring station has
started to measure concentrations of suspended
particulates PM10, PM2.5, and PM1. It will also measure
concentrations of the gaseous pollutants NOx, CO, O3.
Fig. 2 shows inside the container with working
pollutant analyzers.
Fig. 1. Mobile container in the mounting hall.
Fig. 2. Particulate matter analyzers inside the container.
The completion of the measuring apparatus will be
continued next year. The laboratory will be based on
the mobile container equipped with high-tech analyzers
enabling precise measurements.
A computerized database connected remotely to the
set of analyzers will integrate and control the
measurement system, not only collecting environmental
and meteo data but also complete statuses of the set of
devices. It will also collect data from the Voivodeship
Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Warsaw
and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and
Computational Modelling of Warsaw University. The
database system will store all collected data, and allow
queries for any set of parameters to be built, easily
select the averaged data, perform appropriate data
transformations and build data exploring models. It will
be connected with the pollution prediction system,
which takes into account summer and heating seasons
and can produce forecasts of concentrations of
particulate matter in the air every 8 hours for the next
24/48 hours. Work in the laboratory also includes
prediction optimization to obtain satisfying accuracy.
The laboratory’s advanced research will allow the
development of methods limiting of PM10 and PM2.5 in
accordance with Directive 2008/50/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on
ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe.
As a result of the laboratory modernization,
pollutant immission measurements can be conducted in
any location wherever it is necessary for long periods.
Moreover, the measurements may be supervised
remotely.

The set of instruments currently consists of:
ultrafine particle monitor,
optical particle sizer,
suspended particulate beta gauge monitor (PM10

The RODOS (Real-time On-line DecisiOn Support)
project was launched in 1989 and increased in size
through the European Commission’s 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th
Framework Programmes [1]. The system was finally
installed and has been used in national or regional
nuclear emergency centres, providing coherent support
at all phases of an accident (i.e., before, during and after
a release), including both short-term countermeasures
based on intervention level, and long-term management
and restoration of contaminated areas. The system has
been designed for evaluation of different strategies in
order to work out optimal decisions concerning the
introduction of a wide range of potentially useful
countermeasures (e.g., sheltering and evacuation of the
population distribution of iodine tablets, food
restrictions, agricultural countermeasures, relocation,
decontamination, restoration, etc.) mitigating the
consequences of an accident with respect to health, the
environment and the economy. It can be applied to
accidental releases into the atmosphere and aquatic
environments. Appropriate interfaces have been
developed for exchanging information with local and
national radiological monitoring data, meteorological
measurements and national weather forecasts. Each
country has had to customize the system to local,
regional and national conditions in Europe. This process
is continuous as new versions and new modules of the
system appear almost every year, and should be
implemented for national conditions. Recently new
versions of RODOS have been released, based on Java.
The system has been customized in Poland. However,
there is still a need to include current information on
radioecological regions, which have been redefined
taking into account existing administrative borders.
One of the most important activities is the
validation and the verification of the RODOS system
when new functionalities are implemented. Using the
occasion of the international exercise CONVEX-3,
organized by the Inter-Agency Committee on
Radiological and Nuclear Emergencies (IACRNE) in
cooperation with the IAEA, it was decided to use the
newly implemented features in RODOS in this exercise.
This concerns the possibility of application of
a numerical weather prognosis model WRF (Weather
Research and Forecasting) for providing meteorological
data outside Europe. In the CONVEX-3 exercise it was
assumed that the release of radioactive material would
take place in Morocco on 20 and 21 November 2013 –
the two fictitious places of the incident were: TangierMed (cargo harbour) and Marrakesh. The numerical
prognosis was performed using the WRF model on
nested grids with boundary-initial data taken from the
American GFS (Global Forecast System) of NOAA. An
appropriate interface between the WRF and RODOS
atmospheric dispersion models was implemented. The
results of the simulation (Fig. 1) were in good
agreement with the results of other participants in the
exercise. Nevertheless, in order to use the WRF model
operationally a more detailed analysis of the optimal
configuration of the WRF model should be made.

Sequential Monte Carlo and Bayesian methods in the stochastic estimation
of an atmospheric contamination source
P. Kopka, A. Wawrzyńczak-Szaban, M. Borysiewicz
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Świerk-Otwock, Poland
Event reconstruction of chemical or biological agent
dispersion into the atmosphere is an important inverse
problem in homeland security and environmental
monitoring applications. Environmental sensors have
been deployed in various cities for early detection of
contaminant releases into the atmosphere. A stochastic
event reconstruction can process information from an
environmental sensor network. In the Bayesian
approach the problem of finding the most probable
localization of the contamination source is reduced to
the problem of the specification of a set of atmospheric
dispersion model parameters. The set of parameters
searched for depends on the applied model. The aim is
to find (among others) the source distribution for which
the model will generate concentrations closest to those
actually measured.
conducted analysis showed that in the case of moving
sources the SMC method localizes the contamination
source with the higher probability, but all sources
cannot always be found. At the same time the MCMC
are more effective in localizing all contamination
sources, but with lower probability (Fig 3). We
conclude that the proposed algorithms can be efficient
in reconstruction of multisource events, even when the
source position is changing.
Fig. 1. Location of the release point (red dot), sampling points
(blue dots) and meteorological towers (green dots) during the
field tracer experiment conducted on 31 May 2001 over the
Kori nuclear site.
We have developed an algorithm connecting
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Sequential
Monte Carlo (SMC) [1, 2] to provide additional benefits
in the process of event reconstruction. The efficiency of
the proposed algorithm was tested with the use of data
from the field tracer experiment conducted on 31 May
2001 over the Kori nuclear site [3]. The reconstruction
of the contamination source for this experiment was
challenging due to a very complicated wind field pattern
resulting from the hilly terrain and the closeness of the
sea coast. We used the SCIPUFF atmospheric
dispersion model [4] as the forward model to predict the
concentrations at the sensor locations (see Fig. 1, 2).
We have adapted the developed methods to the
reconstruction of multisource atmospheric releases. We
have tested algorithms with the use of synthetic data in
the case when the sources are not moving and in the
case when they change position in time [5,6]. The

Projection of buildings in the hydrodynamic solver EULAG

One of the aspects of urban meteorology is city
ventilation. City ventilation is focused on subjects like
thermal comfort for pedestrians as well as removal of
hazardous substances from urban canyons. This is why
it is a very important aspect of meteorology when an
emergency response must be carried out in the case of
a terrorist attack or an accidental release to the
atmosphere. In addition, urban flow is a matter of small
scale (from metre to tens of kilometre) which means
that it cannot be calculated by mesoscale weather
forecast models.
Calculation of flow on the urban scale requires
a representation of buildings in the model computational
domain. Representation of buildings in hydrodynamic
models is a common issue. Complicated structures are
often difficult to represent in structured meshes.
A geophysical solver EULAG[1] was made to handle
only structured unstaggered meshes. Because of this the
mesh can not be fitted to the geometry of solids, but
solids must be somehow fitted to the mesh. It is
a difficult problem, as this kind of representation will
almost never be perfect.
An algorithm that is now being proposed is
designed to represent buildings on structured meshes of
EULAG or any other solver that uses structured meshes.
It is mainly addressed to the needs of the micro and
meso-gamma spatial scales. The algorithm changes
solids into a number of rectangular objects of known
dimensions called voxels. This method is also called
voxelization[2,3], as it was introduced earlier in
computer graphics. These voxels can later be interpreted
by EULAG as grid boxes containing an immersed
boundary. The algorithm uses fairly simple methods like
ray tracing or angle summation which makes it quite
simple to program.
A numerical experiment is being carried out by
EULAG to investigate what resolution of voxelization is
suitable for performing calculations on the urban scale.

NA-TECH – technological hazards caused by natural events
M. Borysiewicz, S. Potempski, G. Siess
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
Natural disasters are one of the sources of hazard
related to chemical plants and critical infrastructures
such as refineries, pipelines or fuel storage facilities.
Chemical accidents caused by natural events like
earthquakes, floods and lightning are commonly
described as Na-Tech. Events of this type occur all over
the world leading to mortalities, contamination of the
environment and economic consequences. One of the
main problems in most of these events is the
simultaneous appearance of a natural disaster and
a technological accident. Additionally it should be
taken into account that releases of dangerous substances
can happen from single or multiple sources, or from
several installations at the same time in the area
affected by a natural event. Therefore, a special
methodology [1] should be developed for the risk
analysis of such events, which is briefly described
below.
The starting point of the methodology is the
analysis of possible natural threats at the location of the
installation. Firstly it is important to estimate the
frequency and intensity of natural extreme events based
on approaches applied in typical risk analysis. Usually
at this stage a number of reference events ought to be
identified and for each of them intensity, frequency and
duration have to be estimated. In consequence a vector
of influence can be determined for any possible natural
disaster. It should be however stressed that at this stage
no detailed data on possible damage that may occur in
the installation must be provided. The aim is the
preparation of input data for the models simulating
damage.
In the second step key receptors in the installation
should be identified. The critical elements are those that
have some potential for causing a major accident due to
the escalation of events, triggered by a natural disaster.
The intensity of the scenario initiated by natural
extreme events depends both on the reaction of the
installation and the properties of hazardous substances
in the plant. In this respect such elements like:
operational conditions, size of the installation, physical
characteristics of stored or processed substance are the
most important for estimation of the maximum
predicted damage that may occur in the installation.
The third step of the methodology is devoted to
linking possible damage to critical elements of the
installation identified in the second step. In such a way
the so called damage states (DS.) are defined in order to
determine the degree of the loss of integrity of safety
containment in the installation. The fault tree method
can be applied for identification of reference scenarios
related to different damage states. This should be done
in connection with the analysis of the physical-chemical
characteristics of the substance. It is also important to
take into account in an analysis based on fault tree
method accidents caused by natural disasters that have
already occured. Finally, built in this way the Na-Tech
fault tree should include all the scenarios linked with
the initiating events triggered by natural causes.
In the next 4th step based on the identified damage
states one should calculate the probabilities of damage
by application of models for determination of the
vulnerability of the installation and its weak points.
This has to be done by using information on the
parameters characterizing the degree of intensity of
natural threats, which were estimated in the first step.
The development of the proper models for
simulating possible damage to the installation that can
be used in QRA (Quantitative Risk Analysis) is
a specific problem for applying the presented
methodology. The models should be relatively simple,
on the one hand, but on the other the whole spectrum of
possible damage should be taken into consideration.
Quite often the models are simply based on the analysis
of events that have already occurred events. The
analysis of consequences can then be performed using
typical QRA models. However, it should be considered
that more than one event can occur at the same time,
which means that a number of reference scenarios have
to be evaluated taking into account the domino effect
and the possibility of damage to several different
critical elements leading to further escalation of the
accident. At the end in the fifth step a consequence
analysis for all reference scenarios should be made.
Taking into account all these remarks the next three
steps are further necessary in the presented
methodology:
- identification of reliable combinations of initiating
events,
- determination of their frequencies, and
- estimation of consequences for any feasible
combination of the reference scenarios.
Hence, the proposed methodology takes into
account that a number of simultaneous scenarios of the
release of dangerous substance caused by natural
disasters can happen. This can lead to damage to various
elements, leading to different consequences. In order to
estimate the overall vulnerability of the examined
installation one should take the sum of vulnerabilities
calculated for each single scenario.

Such an approach can be applied to all typical
elements of industrial installations, both processing
plants and storage facilities. The unified ranking of the
various installation vulnerabilities to natural disasters
can then be obtained.

Webservice for simulating mean pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere
M. Korycki
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
In emergency situations, when there has been
a dangerous release of chemicals into the atmosphere,
various kinds of emergency response can be carried out.
Due to the multitude of spatial and temporal scales and
forecasting methods, we can distinguish very many
kinds of models that can be used for this purpose.
Advanced numerical weather forecast models often
require high computing power and large amounts of
data. In addition, the complex physics programmed in
these models and the numerical methods used require
a wide knowledge of the user. In addition, interpretation
of the results of such a model is a non-trivial task.
cy situations, as well as a fuller range of calculations for
the preparation of an environmental impact assessment.
The service will be available by internet on the Swierk
Computing Centre website.
One of the simplest models for calculating
dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is the
Passquill model. It calculates the average hourly
pollutant concentrations assuming a number of
simplifications. The results obta-ined using the Pasquill
formulas are easy to interpret and these calculations do
not require high computatio-nal power. As a result, the
Passquill model can provide rapid preliminary forecast
giving a picture of an emer-gency when a more
advanced model is still calculating the forecast.
In NCBJ a web service was deployed performing
calculations of pollutant dispersion using the equations
introduced by Passquilla. The service has been deaigned
both for the possibility of carrying out a simple simulation of the rapid spread of contamination in emergen-

An application of value tree analysis within risk informed decision
making at nuclear facilities
M. Borysiewicz, K. Kowal, S. Potempski
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Otwock-Świerk, Poland
A new model of decision-making at nuclear facilities has recently been developed by the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This approach is currently promoted as IRIDM - Integrated Risk In-formed
Decision Making. IRIDM is recommended by the IAEA
as a well-organized, structural, transparent and auditable
model where qualitatively different in-puts, e.g. results
of
Deterministic
Safety
Assessment
(DSA),
Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) and economic
issues are integrated. The relative importance of the
inputs depends on the decision to be made and should
be weighted quantitatively only possible.
financial indicators that might be achieved as a result of
the decision implementation in terms of the current
values.
In both cases, when α > 1 the implementation
of a particular decision has a positive effect on the
considered parameter by increasing the safety margins
or financial indicators. When 0 < α < 1 the decision
would change the considered parameter negatively.
For α < 0 the particular decision cannot be implemented
because it would exceed the acceptance criteria.
If α = 1 no change is expected after the decision
implementation.
Assigning the weights, however, is quite subjective
and is based mainly on engineering judgment. This is
the main disadvantage of the overall IRIDM process and
needs to be improved in order to make it applicable in
the nuclear industry. Moreover, practical IRIDM implementation usually involves several decision makers
which complicates the process because of conflict-ing
views that can make a consensus unreachable [1].
An improvement in such a situation can be achieved
by definition and application of the value function val
for each attribute of the IRIDM inputs (Fig. 1). The
function should have the following properties: if x~y
then val(x)=val(y) i.e. if two attributes give the same
impact then their weights are equal, and if x<y then
val(x)<val(y), i.e. if attribute x is less important than
y then the value of y is higher than that of x. In gen-eral
it can be obtained as a function of α given by the
following equation:
xa x f
,
x
x a xi
where xa is the acceptable value of the considered parameter x which cannot be exceeded because of the
official regulations, safety goals or internal policy of the
operator. The variables xi and xf describe the initial
(actual) value of the parameter and its final value (after
implementation of k-th decision option), respectively.
The key point here is the shape of the value function:
linearity reflects simple mapping of the parameter values, while, for example, a concave exponential curve
means that any changes in the lower region of the parameter space are more important to the decision makers than the changes of the same size in the upper region; for a convex function the situation is opposite.
When safety issues are considered the α value
describes how the safety margins would be changed by
imple-mentation of different decision options. In the
case of economic aspects the α value corresponds to the
Fig. 1. Simplified value tree diagram developed to support
decision-making in nuclear safety
In general, all relevant IRIDM inputs should be
includ-ed in the value tree structure. In this paper,
however, only safety (DSA and PSA) and economic
issues are taken into account explicitly in order to
simplify the considerations.

When it acceded to Global Threat Reduction
Initiative Poland committed to convert the nuclear fuel
of the MARIA Research Reactor that is currently used
for radioisotope production on a global scale. The
conversion means giving up the high enriched uranium
fuel (HEU) containing 36% of U-235 and replacing it
with the enriched uranium fuel – LEU (19.7% U-235).
This article describes the usability of the Integrated Risk
Informed Decision Making (IRIDM) methodology in
optimization of the conversion process [1].
Since the fuel conversion leads to a decrease in
U-235 enrichment the volume of fuel itself has to be
greater in order to maintain approximately the same
thermal power. For that reason the present fuel channel
configuration – based on 6 concentric tubes (Fig. 1) –
will be replaced with a new one, which consists of only
5 tubes but with different diameters and thicknesses.
Fig. 1. Horizontal cross section of the high enriched
uranium fuel element
These differences lead to significant changes in the
thermal-hydraulic parameters inside the core. The
maximum heat flux on the external wall of the fuel tube
is 2.61 and 2.04 MW/m2 for LEU and HEU
respectively. Moreover, the coefficient of hydraulic
resistance for LEU elements exceeds by around 30% the
resistance coefficient for HEU. The required coolant
flow rate through the new fuel channel is at least
30 m3/h while for HEU fuel it is equal to 25 m3/h. This
implies the necessity of increasing the mass flow in the
new channels up to 120% of the previous nominal flow.
Since the existing infrastructure is not sufficient to
increase the mass flow, this process requires
replacement of the primary cooling channel pumps
which makes the full conversion impossible without
additional investment.
In order to find the optimal solution for this
problem the IRIDM methodology has been proposed.
IRIDM is a well-organized, structural, transparent and
auditable model of decision making where qualitatively
different inputs, e.g. results of Deterministic Safety
Assessment (DSA), Probabilistic Safety Assessment
(PSA) and economic issues are integrated.
During this study three possible options were
analysed. Option 1 (full conversion without changes in
the cooling system) was recognised as the best solution
from the economic point of view. Radioisotopes can be
produced continuously and no additional changes in the
organizational system are needed. However, this option
has an overall negative impact on both DSA and PSA.
This is because the primary cooling channel pumps are
not efficient enough to provide appropriate mass flow
after conversion. Consequently the safety margins
cannot be maintained. Therefore, this option was
rejected due to the highest negative impact on the safety
aspects.
Option 2 (replacement of the pumps before fuel
conversion) was the best solution in terms of safety.
However, this option assumes a long-term shutdown of
the reactor. This generates significant economic losses
associated with interruption of isotope production.
Additionally, it needs some changes in the
organizational system at the time of the replacement
process. These are the main reasons why option 2 was
rejected as well.
Option 3 (partial core conversion before change of
the pumps starting from the most burned-up HEU fuel)
has been chosen even though there is a slightly negative
impact on both safety and economic aspects. Moreover,
additional requirements, meaning criteria on power
limits, have been proposed. Due to the power limits
slightly lower production of isotopes is expected.
However, the economic losses are not as high as in
option 2. Thus option 3 is much safer than the first one
and still very attractive economically. This is also the
most balanced solution in terms of risk distribution
between different IRIDM inputs.

This work has been performed within the National
Strategic Programme on: “Improvement of Safety
Labour and Conditions” coordinated by the Central
Institute for Labour Protection [1]. The project aimed at
the development of a real-time information system on
hazards caused by major accidents for application in
crisis management system. The first two years were
devoted to the development of models and algorithms
for realistic determination of hazardous areas based on
data from early warning monitoring systems. The
approach was based on the Bayesian formulation of the
geostatistical methods. Apart from quite typical
universal krigging more specialized techniques have
been taken into consideration and implemented:
a) Sequential methods: iterative procedure for
determination of the probability of a posteriori
distribution via a projected gaussian spatial
process.
b) Transgaussian methods utilizing transformation to
a Gaussian distribution combined with sequential
methods.
c) Krigging based on statistical copulas allowing for
identification of “hot spots”.
In order to estimate uncertainties in data and the
results of geostatistical interpolation it is assumed that
the parameters characterizing spatial distribution of
concentration of hazardous substance, like mean or
variance also can be treated as random quantities. This
means that one can use standard deviation (or any other
moment) as an indicator of the results’ uncertainty.
During the last stage of the project a prototype
computer system has been developed. The main features
of this system are as follows:
a) The system has been implemented as a web-based
application.
b) Monitoring data are visualized on a digital map as
an effect of geostatistical interpolation, typical
results are: probability of exceeding some
threshold, values of the mean, variance, median or
any percentile (Fig. 1).
c) The user can define special points i.e. receptors,
where the values of the concentration of
dangerous substances are of the highest interest,
and some interpolation parameters (for example
whether to consider data anisotropy).
d) The system contains a special model for
determining the possible source of the release of
dangerous substance based on the measurement
data from monitoring systems.
The developed system is planned to be
operationally implemented in chemical plants and
linked with the current environmental monitoring
system.
