Programmatic Thermal Neutron Flux Calibration for Neutron Generators Public
Neutron activation analysis (NAA) allows for precise and accurate measurements of isotope concentrations within a sample. The technique is versatile in its applications in nuclear research, materials science, etc. A major constraint in NAA is calibration time, which currently requires a full sample activation and gamma spectroscopy analysis. This project addresses calibration time by applying a programmatic activation function that allows for instantaneous flux measurement of the generator. The iterative method discussed in this report shows promise to reduce calibration time to a fraction of the current industry standard while maintaining high accuracy and precision.
