Ice monitoring system using neutron moderation

Creators

Description

A process is described for measuring basis weight of a layer of a hydrogenous material, comprising the steps of: mounting a source of fast neutrons and a detector of slow neutrons proximate to each other on one side of a mounting plate whereby the fast neutrons are moderated and scattered by the layer of hydrogenous material which is proximate to the other side of the mounting plate and detecting a portion of the moderated and scattered neutrons by the detector whereby an electrical amplitude corresponding to the basis weight of the hydrogenous material is generated for measurement thereof
