Nuclear safeguards applications require accurate fission models that exhibit prompt neutron anisotropy. In the laboratory reference frame, an anisotropic neutron angular distribution is observed because prompt fission neutrons carry momentum from fully accelerated fission fragments. A liquid organic scintillation detector array was used with pulse shape discrimination techniques to produce neutron-neutron...
A fast neutron multiplicity counting system based on organic scintillators, i.e. EJ-309 and stilbene, has been developed and experimentally tested at the University of Michigan. The system is able to detect correlated photon and neutron multiplets emitted by the fission reaction, within a gate time of tens of nanoseconds. This counting strategy is exploited to quantify fissile mass, without the need...
A dual-particle imager with sensitivity to both neutrons and photons has been developed for the detection of special nuclear material. This system has the capability to provide spectral information on detected sources that is useful for safeguard applications. In nuclear facilities with high photon background rates, neutron detection can aid in identification and verification capabilities. The dual-particle...
A plutonium metal sample was measured by a fast-neutron multiplicity counter for characterization of spontaneous fission neutron anisotropy and for verification of MCNPX-PoliMi calculations. Accurate neutron angular distribution models are important to properly simulating fast neutron coincidence measurements for nuclear nonproliferation and safeguards applications. A majority of prompt neutrons are...
