Absolute Neutronic Performance of SNS from Gold Foil Application

摘要

The determination of absolute neutron fluxes by white beam activation of thick gold foils in conjuction with spectral analysis by time-of-flight monitors is described. A numerical integration procedure is presented and the method is applied to determine the absolute performance of SNS from data obtained during the initial commissioning run in December 1984.
