TL;DR
This paper investigates the energy spectrum of fast neutrons emitted by a 241Am/9Be source using advanced measurement techniques to produce a well-characterized, energy-tagged neutron beam.
Contribution
It introduces a method to produce a continuous, polychromatic, energy-tagged neutron beam from a 241Am/9Be source with precise measurement techniques.
Findings
Successful characterization of the neutron energy spectrum.
Implementation of coincidence and time-of-flight measurement techniques.
Generation of a continuous, energy-tagged neutron beam.
Abstract
We report on an investigation of the fast-neutron spectrum emitted by 241Am/9Be. Well-understood shielding, coincidence, and time-of-flight measurement techniques are employed to produce a continuous, polychromatic, energy-tagged neutron beam.
