Procedure to select the initial guess spectrum during unfolding

Description

A new method to select the initial guess spectrum,during unfolding, is presented. Neutron spectra unfolded from Bonner sphere data are dependent on the initial guess spectrum used in the unfolding code. The method is based on a catalogue of detector count rates calculated from a set of reported neutron spectra. The spectra of three isotopic neutron sources: 252 Cf, 239 Pu Be and 252 Cf/D2O, were measured to test the method. The unfolding was carried out using the three initial guess options included in the BUNKIUT code. Neutron spectra were also calculated using MCNP code. Unfolded spectra were compared with those calculated; in all the cases the method here presented gives the best results. (Author)
