- W2167059216 abstract "Abstract The time-correlated pulse-height technique can distinguish multiplying (special nuclear material) from non-multiplying sources. The technique relies upon the measurement of correlated photon–neutron pairs using organic liquid scintillation detectors. For such interactions, the distribution of measured neutron recoil energy versus the time-of-flight difference between correlated photons and neutrons are imprinted with the fission chain dynamics of the source. The theoretical time-of-arrival assuming the photons and neutrons are created in the same fission is calculated. Correlated pairs with longer time-of-arrival indicate delays caused by self-induced fission chains in a multiplying source. For the specific circumstances of simulated measurements of 25.4 kg of highly enriched uranium at 50 cm source to detector distance, correlated pairs from fission chains can arrive upwards of 40 ns later than correlated pairs with the same neutron energies from non-multiplying sources like 252 Cf at the same source detector distance. The use of detectors with ns scale time resolution and the use of pulse digitization allows for the distinction of these events. This method has been used successfully in the past to measure a variety of plutonium-bearing samples. The particle transport code MCNPX-PoliMi has been used to simulate and validate these measurements as well. Due to the much lower signature emission rate of 235 U, this technique has not yet been used to measure the presence of highly enriched uranium. In this work we therefore explore the use of the time-correlated pulse-height technique with the introduction of an interrogating neutron source to stimulate fission. The applicability of 252 Cf, AmLi and a DD generator neutron sources is explored in a series of simulations. All three sources are viable options with their own pros and cons with the choice of appropriate source depending upon the intended application. The TCPH technique is envisioned as a viable measurement solution of special nuclear material in situations in which the presence of shielding material disqualifies the use of passive gamma spectroscopy or gamma spectroscopy reveals classified information on the special nuclear material’s isotopic composition." @default.
