METHOD OF DETERMINING TIME FOR STORAGE OF NEUTRONS IN VESSELS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: experimental physics.

SUBSTANCE: method involves registering number of neutrons in vessel after opening of closure depending on holding time during equal partial registration intervals Δ t_i, with total of said intervals being equal to complete registration interval and partial intervals and number of partial intervals in different cycles being equal; determining neutron storage time from formula =(T₁-T₂)/In(tgβ) depending on N_2k=F(N_lk), where is accumulated account in J-cycle equal to total of sensor accounts in partial registration intervals from 1^st to k interval; determining final storage time value by averaging values for cycle pairs.

EFFECT: increased precision in determining time for storage of neutrons in vessel and wider operational range of method.
