Keywords:Feynman-α, Neutron Correlation Analysis, Subcriticality, Gate Time

Even at deeply subcritical state such as a shutdown state, the prompt-neutron decay constant and the saturated correlation amplitude obtained by Feynman-α analysis for time-sequence data with a statistically high quality are significantly dependent on a gate-time range set for the analysis. Considering a delayed-neutron contribution approximately, this difficulty could be solved
