β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes the performance of a 1.5 in. Γ 1.5 in. LaBr 3 gamma radiation detector for determining 235 U enrichment by non-destructive analysis. The spectrometric properties of the detector, brought to market under the trade name BrillanCe-380 [1], were first evaluated. Enrichment measurements were subsequently carried out in different experimental conditions on certified uranium samples with enrichment ranging from 0.31% to 60% and on UF 6 containers of the type 30B and 48Y.

A Micromegas detector was used in the neutron Time-Of-Flight Γ°n TOFΓ facility at CERN to evaluate the spatial distribution of the neutron beam as a function of its kinetic energy. This was achieved over a large range of neutron energies by using two complementary processes: at low energy by capture
The tau lepton lifetime has been measured with the e + e -β Ο + Ο -events collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in the years 1991-1995. Three different methods have been exploited, using both one-prong and threeprong Ο decay channels. These are combined with previously published DELPHI results to
