A Monte Carlo simulation of neutron activation analysis of bulk objects
2009, Radiation MeasurementsCitation Excerpt :The highest number of 0.478 MeV photons in the pulse height distribution, occurs in the case of the graphite filter with an increase by a factor of 1.29 over the case without filter (Table 2). This is due to the very good moderating and scattering properties of graphite, with a high elastic and inelastic scattering neutron cross-section and a high average neutron energy loss/collision (Utteridge et al., 1994). Hence, the moderating capability would shield off region #1 from the neutron beam, while the scattering capabilities would reflect neutrons towards region #2.
