Absolute measurement of the subcriticality based on the third order neutron correlation in consideration of the finite nature of neutron counts data

  • 1. Nagoya Univ., Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya, Aichi (Japan)

Description

We have studied a measurement of subcriticality by using the neutron correlation method. Furuhashi proposed an absolute measurement of subcriticality by using the third order neutron correlation factor X in addition to the second order neutron correlation factor Y. In actual experiments, the number of neutron counts data is not infinity so that we take the effect of the finite nature of the neutron counts data into account. We derived new formulas in consideration of the number of data and verified them. (author)
