Looking for the best possible geometry for NEDA • Optimization of the volume of the detectors • Highest efficiency • Lowest cross-talk probability We took into account: • Granularity • Modularity • Different materials
Definitions: TheClustermethod Each pair of detectors is checked whether they fit to the drdt gate. If one detector is recognized as having the scattered event from the current cluster is added to that cluster. Thenumber of clustergivesthenumber of neutronsdetected. The drdt gate dr is the distance between the weight centers of two fired detectors. dtis the time difference between the moments of threshold exceedance of each detector, separately.
Definitions: Efficiency Clean 1n and 2n efficiency is the number of clusters which fit to drdt gate, in case the emitted neutron multiplicity is one and two, respectively. 1n -> 2n misinterpretation probability is the probability to treat 1n events as 2n. It means that is the ratio of the number of clusters which do not fit to the drdt gateto the total number of neutrons were shot.
