New data processing method for nuclear material measurement using pulsed neutrons

Komeda, Masao   ; Toh, Yosuke   

Active neutron methods using pulsed neutrons can measure nuclear materials with higher performance than passive methods. However, previous active neutron methods have not used the observed data effectively. In this study, we developed a new data processing method with higher performance than the conventional method by using time series data. This method is expected to improve the measurement performance through a significant reduction in measurement time and a sensitivity increase compared to the conventional method.
