A Hierarchical Bayesian Approach to Neutron Spectrum Unfolding with Organic Scintillators

Haonan Zhu, Yoann Altmann, Angela Di Fulvioand Stephen McLaughlin +2

We propose a hierarchical Bayesian model and state-of-art Monte Carlo sampling method to solve the unfolding problem, i.e., to estimate the spectrum of an unknown neutron source fr…

Multiplication and Presence of Shielding Material from Time-Correlated Pulse-Height Measurements of Subcritical Plutonium Assemblies

Mateusz Monterial, Peter Marleau, Marc Paff +2

We present the results from the first measurements of the Time-Correlated Pulse-Height (TCPH) distributions from 4.5 kg sphere of -phase weapons-grade plutonium metal in five co…
