Method for converting neutron time-of-flight spectrum into an energy spectrum

In neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) experiments a pulsed neutron beam travels a predetermined distance before reaching the sample under examination. The problem of reconstructing the primary neutron spectrum from the measured one with this technique is discussed in this work. A solution is presented em...

Description
Summary:In neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) experiments a pulsed neutron beam travels a predetermined distance before reaching the sample under examination. The problem of reconstructing the primary neutron spectrum from the measured one with this technique is discussed in this work. A solution is presented employing the response matrix of the neutron detector and an unfolding procedure.
