【 摘 要 】

This set of slides begins by giving background and a review of neutron counting; three attributes of a verification item are discussed: ²⁴⁰Pu_eff mass; ??, the ratio of (??,n) neutrons to spontaneous fission neutrons; and leakage multiplication. It then takes up neutron detector systems ??? theory & concepts (coincidence counting, moderation, die-away time); detector systems ??? some important details (deadtime, corrections); introduction to multiplicity counting; multiplicity electronics and example distributions; singles, doubles, and triples from measured multiplicity distributions; and the point model: multiplicity mathematics.
