Abstract
The author shows that, even accepting the limitations of existing fast electronic processing apparatus, the gamma-ray counts-to-dose ratio can be significantly improved by a dose reduction technique which consists of switching off a part or remainder of a neutron burst for the period when the ADC is busy processing a gamma-ray pulse. This procedure, if performed efficiently, will not alter significantly the amount of data gathered but should decrease the neutron dose required to obtain it. The technique was demonstrated in the measurement of Mg in a bone phantom using a fast-neutron inelastic scatter reaction.
