A new data acquisition system using a position sensitive 3He proportional counter was developed to perform simultaneous measurement of a neutron pulse train in time and space. Through an examination performed at the Kyoto University Critical Assembly, it was confirmed that the inter-event dead time of the acquisition system was 4 or 5 μs in the experimental condition. This fact shows that the inter-event dead time was reduced down to approximately a half of that of the previously developed acquisition system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
