Remark on the applicability of Campbelling techniques for transient signals

The signals of fission chambers are traditionally evaluated with Campbelling methods at medium count rates. Lately there has been a growing interest in the extension of Campbelling methods to cover a wider range of count rates. These methods are applied to measure the neutron flux in the stationary state of the reactor. However, there has not been any attempt to generalize these techniques for transient reactor states. This short note is devoted to a discussion of this question. It is shown through analytic and numerical calculations that for practical reasons the traditional, stationary Campbelling methods can be applied for transient scenarios as well.
