On the Feynman-alpha Method for Reflected Fissile Assemblies
Michael Y. Hua, Jesson D. Hutchinson, George E. McKenzie +2
The Feynman-alpha method is a neutron noise technique that is used to estimate the prompt neutron period of fissile assemblies. The method and quantity are of widespread interest i…

Rossi-alpha Uncertainty Quantification by Analytic, Bootstrap, and Sample Methods to Inform Fitting Best Practices
M. Y. Hua, C. A. Bravo, R. M. Marchie +3
The prompt neutron period (the negative reciprocal of the prompt neutron decay constant) can be estimated using the Rossi-alpha technique that is predicated on fitting Rossi-alpha…
