Estimating the Performance of Neutron Time-of-flight Spectrometers

Front Cover
Argonne National Laboratory, 1961 - Neutron counters - 13 pages
Analogy with optical instruments is used to develop formulas for estimating the counting rate achieved by a neutron time-of-flight system. lnput data consist of the flux at the spectrometer entrance and some of the physical characteristics of the spectrometer. Convenient relations for the comparison of different systems are presented.
