Bonner sphere measurements of 241Am-B and 241Am-F neutron energy spectra unfolded using high-resolution a priori data.
High-resolution neutron energy spectra, covering the entire energy range of interest, for two standard radionuclide neutron sources ((241)Am-B and (241)Am-F) have been derived from Bonner sphere measurements by using high-resolution a priori data in the unfolding process. In each case, two a priori spectra were used, one from a two-stage calculation and also one from a combination of the calcul...
متن کاملAsphalt and Paraffin Scale Deposit Measurement by Neutron Back Diffusion Using 252Cf and 241Am-Be Sources
Hydrocarbon deposits, often found in oil or polymer industries, are very difficult to detect by the usual inspection techniques of gamma radiography or x-ray radiography methods. The density and atomic number of pipe walls are much higher than that of the scale, therefore, most of the attenuation of gamma rays or x-rays, takes place in the iron, and only a negligible fraction in the scale. This...
متن کاملAn Optimum Landmine Detection System Using Polyethylene Moderator and 241Am-Be as a Neutron Source
In this paper an optimized moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source for detecting landmines (using the PGNAA method) has been investigated by experiment. The experimental set up composed of a Pb cylindrical shell enclosing the neutron source, embedded in a fixed size High-density polyethylene (HDPe) cylinder with the variable thickness of the upper and lower moderator. The optimizi...
متن کاملMeasurement of the neutron fluence and dose spectra using an extended bonner sphere and a tissue-equivalent proportional counter.
A conventional Bonner Sphere (BS) set consisting of six polyethylene spheres was modified to enhance its response to a high-energy neutron by putting a lead shell inside a polyethylene moderator. The response matrix of an extended BS was calculated using the MCNPX code and calibrated using a 252Cf neutron source. In order to survey the unknown photon and neutron mixed field, a spherical tissue ...
متن کاملstudy of neutron yield for the 241am9be source
beryllium chemical combination has a considerable effect on the design and fabrication of the241am9be neutron source. in this investigation the beryllium combinations were studied as a generator ofneutrons with various mass percentage, and the neutron yields were also calculated using the results of thealice and srim codes calculations per unit incident charge. the neutron yields of beryllium ...
