Research activities based on small accelerators in Vietnam

Neutron generator (NA-3C) and Electron Accelerator (Microtron MT-17) have been put into operation since 1974 and 1982 in the Institute of Physics, Hanoi. The neutron generator produces 14 MeV neutrons with total yield of 1010 n/s. The Microtron accelerator produces both fission neutrons and bremsstrahlung with maximum energy of 15 MeV. These facilities have been exploited in both fundamental and applied nuclear physics research. The main research activities were focused on the fields of nuclear data, nuclear reactions and fissions as well as nuclear analytical methods. In this report we present some results obtained during the recent years and discuss about the main interests in our future work and the possibilities of regional collaboration. (author)
