AmBe Neutron Transmission Through a Beryllium Sphere

摘要

Measurements of a variety of previously explored emission and leakage spectra have been performed and will be processed shortly. These will serve as a benchmark for the unfolding of the beryllium leakage spectrum of AmBe. Accurate MCNP6 models of the available (252)~Cf and AmBe sources in the measurement room have been produced and will be used to examine any discrepancies in regions of less agreement with the expected results. The only explicit results thus far come from MCNP6 simulations of the AmBe source and beryllium sphere at Georgia Tech. Some structure emerges from the MCNP6 simulation of the leakage spectrum with much detail. Further measurements will confirm such features.
