A BAYESIAN ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE THE NEUTRON RESPONSE OF A LIQUID SCINTILLATION SPECTROMETER

Marcel Reginatto, Andreas Zimbal

Abstract

Many problems in neutron metrology require the determination of spectral neutron fluence rates. One of the prerequisites for doing spectrometry is the knowledge of the detector’s response function. We report on a method to determine the response function of liquid scintillation spectrometers given measurements in monoenergetic neutron fields. The response function is modelled using radial basis functions and the parameters of the model are chosen using Bayesian parameter estimation.
