“…The neutron total cross-sections of tantalum (Ta-181) were measured in the neutron energy region from 0.01 eV to 100 eV by using the time-of-flight method at the Pohang Neutron Facility, which consists of an electron linac, a water-cooled tantalum target with a water moderator, and a 12-m-long time-of-flight path. A Li-6-ZnS(Ag) scintillator with a diameter of 12.5 cm and a thickness of 1.6 cm was used as a neutron detector, and a natural tantalum metal plate, 10 x 10 cm 2 in area by 0.45 mm in thickness, was used for the neutron transmission measurement. …”

Optimal design of neutron gamma logging tool for rock-forming elements by ZHANG Haoyu, WU Wensheng, XIONG Shitao

“…BackgroundThe rock-forming element neutron gamma logging tool is mainly composed of a deuterium-tritium neutron source, a shield, and a lanthanum bromide (LaBr3) scintillator detector. Among them, the instrument shell material, boron sleeve structure length, shield structure, and the distance (source distance) from the bromide crystal detector to the neutron source are main factors that affect the count and energy spectrum of the gamma detector. …”

An Ultra-Throughput Boost Method for Gamma-Ray Spectrometers by Wenhui Li, Qianqian Zhou, Yuzhong Zhang, Jianming Xie, Wei Zhao, Jinglun Li, Hui Cui

“…Firstly, by fitting the impulse signal of the detector, the response matrix was built by the functional model of a dual exponential tail convolved with the Gaussian kernel; then, a quadratic programming method based on a non-negative least squares (NNLS) algorithm was adopted to solve the constrained optimization problem for the inversion. (3) Results: Both the simulated and experimental results of the UTB method show that most of the impulses in the pulse sequence from the scintillator detector were restored to δ-like pulses, and the throughput of the UTB method for the NaI(Tl) spectrometer reached 207 kcps with a resolution of 7.71% @661.7 keV. …”
