M-C simulation of 252Cf spontaneous fission n/γ TOF and TCC spectra
AbstractAbstract
[en] Time correlation coincidence (TCC) is an effective method to measure characteristics of fission materials. In this paper, MCNP code is used to simulate n/γ time-of-flight spectra (TOF) of a 252Cf spontaneous fission source detected by a BC-501A liquid scintillator. The results are in good agreement with the measured spectra. Therefore, n/γ TCC spectra of the 252Cf source are simulated. The results indicate that the n/γ TCC spectra are composed of the n-n, γ-γ, n-γ and γ-n coincidence. (authors)
