TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic efficiency of Cs2LiYCl6 :Ce scintillator for fast-neutron detection has been determined for the natural-Li crystal.
Abstract: Samples of Cs2LiYCl6 :Ce (CLYC) scintillator have been characterized using monoenergetic neutron beams in the energy range 4.1–5.5 MeV. Four crystals with dimensions (thickness×diameter) of 1″×1″, 1″×2″, and 2″×2″ were evaluated, including one crystal with natural concentrations of Li isotopes and three that were enriched in 6 Li. The intrinsic efficiency of CLYC for fast-neutron detection has been determined for the natural-Li crystal. These measurements were translated into reaction cross-sections, and show good agreement with available cross-section data for neutron interactions with the 35Cl component of CLYC. Furthermore, it is shown that the charged-particle energy released in the fast-neutron reactions on 35 Cl varies linearly with the energy of the incoming neutron. These results verify the efficacy of CLYC for fast-neutron spectroscopy in a range of applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the first-principles simulations of quasiharmonic PDOS spectra with the measurements of Dolling et al. obtained by shell-model fitting to their historical phonon dispersion measurements.
Abstract: Phonon density of states (PDOS) measurements have been performed on polycrystalline ${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$ at 295 and 1200 K using time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the impact of anharmonicity on the vibrational spectra and to benchmark ab initio PDOS simulations performed on this strongly correlated Mott insulator. Time-of-flight PDOS measurements include anharmonic linewidth broadening, inherently, and the factor of $\ensuremath{\sim}$7 enhancement of the oxygen spectrum relative to the uranium component by the increased neutron sensitivity to the oxygen-dominated optical phonon modes. The first-principles simulations of quasiharmonic PDOS spectra were neutron weighted and anharmonicity was introduced in an approximate way by convolution with wave-vector-weighted averages over our previously measured phonon linewidths for ${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$, which are provided in numerical form. Comparisons between the PDOS measurements and the simulations show reasonable agreement overall, but they also reveal important areas of disagreement for both high and low temperatures. The discrepancies stem largely from a $\ensuremath{\sim}$10 meV compression in the overall bandwidth (energy range) of the oxygen-dominated optical phonons in the simulations. A similar linewidth-convoluted comparison performed with the PDOS spectrum of Dolling et al. obtained by shell-model fitting to their historical phonon dispersion measurements shows excellent agreement with the time-of-flight PDOS measurements reported here. In contrast, we show by comparisons of spectra in linewidth-convoluted form that recent first-principles simulations for ${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$ fail to account for the PDOS spectrum determined from the measurements of Dolling et al. These results demonstrate PDOS measurements to be stringent tests for ab inito simulations of phonon physics in ${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$ and they indicate further the need for advances in theory to address the lattice dynamics of ${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$.

TL;DR: It is concluded that urease as commonly prepared is not a homogeneous catalytic entity and suggested that histidine, α-ammonium and sulphydryl groups are of importance in the reaction.
