Abstract
A series of Rossi-alpha measurements was performed on the University of New Mexico`s AGN-201 reactor to measure the effective delayed neutron fraction {beta} and the mean prompt-neutron generation time of the system A{sub m}. An example of one of the Rossi-alpha measurements is shown in Fig. 1. Because the reactor is reflected, multiple prompt-neutron decay modes were observed.
