Description

Neutron beam characteristics of the Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis facility at HANARO were measured. The neutron beam of this facility is polychromatic thermal neutrons diffracted vertically by a set of pyrolytic graphite crystals at the Bragg angle of 45 .deg. from a horizontal beam line. Three conditions of thermal neutron extraction were applied by varying graphite crystal thickness and focusing geometry of diffracted beam. Thermal neutron profile, thermal neutron flux and Cd-ratio were measured at the sample position for each extraction condition. Thermal neutron flux of 6.1x107 n/cm2s and Cd-ratio of 364 are achieved finally
