Correction equations work, but…
• Valid only for relatively low dead time losses
• Valid under the assumption that the interactions are uniformly distributed (=>
This is not the case, by definition, for pulsed fields)

Detection of pulsed neutron fields shows an advantage, if compared to photons
NEUTRONS
γ
γ
γ
Neutron detection mechanism:
1) They reach the moderator surface
2) They are thermalized (scattering events)
3) Once thermalized they diffuse
4) They reach the detector (BF3 or 3He)
Photons do not need
thermalization in order to
be detected
