[2H04] Absolute neutron intensity measurement of AmBe with a graphite column

Keywords:AmBe neutron source, Absolute intensity, Foil Activation Method, Gold leaf

AmBe neutron source is very useful for various experimental studies. However, it is not easy to determine the absolute intensity of the source. In this study with a large graphite column the absolute intensity is experimentally fixed with a gold foil. In this study, with MCNP calculations the experimental arrangement was designed.
