Abstract
Aiming at measuring the prompt neutron decay constant α of fast critical assemblies, Rossi-α method was improved by means of the acquisition of neutron and gamma time sequence. The application of the time sequence method in delayed critical & subcritical experiments at a fast critical assembly was here in described, focus in particular on the gamma analysis and the exploration of A/C ratio which directly affects the measurement precision of α. The reliability of the time sequence method is proved by the agreement of the α values obtained based on neutron and gamma. The A/C ratio based on neutron and gamma shows an obvious difference and the corresponding conclusion guides to a larger A/C ratio. The time sequence method shows advantages of higher experimental efficiency and flexible data analysis which contribute to more accurate experimental result.
