Description
The α decay constant of prompt neutrons has been studied in the homogeneous plutonium-fueled, light-water-moderated reactor Alecto, by the probability method. In this method, the probability to count one, two,.... neutrons during a given time is measured. The value of α can be deduced from this measurement, for various subcritical states of the reactor. The experimental results were then compared with values obtained, for the same reactivities, by the pulsed neutron technique. (authors)

On a etudie sur Alecto, reacteur homogene au plutonium, modere a l'eau legere, la constante de decroissance α des neutrons prompts par la methode des probabilites. Celle-ci consiste a mesurer la probabilite de compter un, deux, etc..., neutrons pendant un intervalle de temps donne. On a pu en deduire la valeur de α, dans divers etats sous-critiques du reacteur. On a compare les resultats experimentaux a d'autres valeurs obtenues, aux memes reactivites, par la methode des neutrons pulses. (auteurs)Files
