Protecting Against Potential Issues in Thermal Neutron Scattering [Slides]

This presentation touches upon the TSL community that has been growing rapidly. Additionally, this presentation mentions the more exotic materials and theories that are being implemented in TSL files. This lecture concludes on three areas of potential concern: Coherent scattering, Computational simulations, and Isotopic distribution.

MC-Lite: Development of a new lightweight multiplicity counter

This report details the development of a neutron multiplicity counter based on lithium doped plastic scintillators. This system has the capability to measure and discriminate fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and gamma-rays allowing for multi-particle correlations in one device. The system was built and tested at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with Cf-252 in both bare configurations and surrounded by polyethylene and compared against the MC-15 multiplicity counter. Additionally, the detector was also placed outside of a subcritical assembly and demonstrated the ability to use correlated gamma-rays as a probe on the multiplication of the item.
