Abstract

Fast neutron multiplicity measurement technology is an important non-destructive testing technology in the field of arms control verification. In the technique, the liquid scintillation detector is used to detect the fission neutron and combined with the time correlation analysis method to extract multiplicity counting rates from the pulse signals. This technique is commonly used to measure the mass of nuclear materials, however, it is based on the point model that assumes that the neutron multiplication coefficient keeps constant in the whole spatial volume, which will lead to overestimation of the multiplication coefficient and result in system deviation. To correct the deviation and improve the measurement accuracy, the fast neutron multiplicity simulation measurements are carried out on spherical and cylindrical samples in this work. The relationship among the position of neutron generation, absorption and net growth in the space volume of the material is obtained. According to the definition of the leakage multiplication coefficient, the leakage multiplication coefficients at different positions in the space volume of the material are calculated. On this basis, a method based on spatial multiplication coefficient correction is proposed according to the functional relationship between neutron multiplicity factorial moments and the unknown parameters. In this method, the n-order multiplication coefficient is modified by introducing a weight factor $ {g_n} $, and the fast neutron multiplicity weighted point model equation is derived. To verify the accuracy of this method, a set of fast neutron multiplicity detection model is built by Geant4, and the fast neutron multiplicity simulation measurement is carried out on the spherical and cylindrical samples. The results show that the solution accuracy of the weighted point model equation is higher than that of the standard point model equation, and the measurement deviation is reduced to less than 6 %. This work provides an optimization method for solving plutonium samples with several kilograms in mass, and promotes the development of the fast neutron multiplicity measurement technology.
