Figure 2
The neutron energy spectra of the RANS pulsed neutron beam at 1.4 and 5.0 m away from moderator surface, simulated by the PHITS code (Sato et al., 2013), expressed in neutrons per second per cm2 per lethargy at the RANS full-powder averaged current of 100 µA. The moderator thickness is 4.0 cm, and the neutron lethargy (i.e. logarithmic energy decrement) u = ln(E0/E) is a dimensionless logarithm of the ratio of the energy of source neutrons to the energy of product neutrons after a collision. |
