Description

This paper mainly describes the theoretical formula and the principle of neutron pulse train generation, and then uses MCNPX and MATLAB program to simulate the Portable Neutron Coincidence Counter (PNCC) for neutron multiplicity counting. The results have got the neutron multiplicity distribution of uranium materials and acquired the neutron pulse train. This experiment has verified the feasibility that PNCC can be used in neutron multiplicity counting. (authors)
