Abstract
The energy spectra of neutrons in the experimental channel, in the window, and behind the biological shielding of the core of the IGRIK-2 pulse nuclear reactor was measured using the neutron activation method. Approximately 15 neutron activation detectors were employed. The neutron spectrum reconstruction was performed using the method of directed divergence minimization. A comparison of the main integral characteristics of the neutron field with numerical Monte Carlo calculations is presented.
期刊介绍:
Physics of Atomic Nuclei is a journal that covers experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear physics: nuclear structure, spectra, and properties; radiation, fission, and nuclear reactions induced by photons, leptons, hadrons, and nuclei; fundamental interactions and symmetries; hadrons (with light, strange, charm, and bottom quarks); particle collisions at high and superhigh energies; gauge and unified quantum field theories, quark models, supersymmetry and supergravity, astrophysics and cosmology.
