Description

A method is presented for improving C and O measurement in coal, by introducing a channel in the moderator of a coal analysis setup using 14MeV neutrons. Monte-Carlo simulations have been carried out for cases of no channel, a vertical channel and an oblique channel with different sizes in the moderator. The results show that, it can improve C and O measurement by introducing a channel in the moderator, and the oblique channel relative to positions of both source and detector has good prospect in practice.
