CONT

… neutron counters … can serve as monitors for the photoneutron background noise and permit an on-line measurement of the parasitic signal. Thus, a careful choice of the moderator thicknesses enables these detectors to collect a considerable proportion of the internal parasitic photoneutrons. A proportionality coefficient leads to knowledge of the background noise occurring in the useful delayed signal measuring unit. The thus measured parasitic signal can be subtracted from the useful signal during data processing. Measurements can also take place with a single series of detectors located in the inner moderator coating.

CONT

[…] l’énergie photonique optimale pour provoquer la réaction de photofission est aux alentours de 16 MeV [mégaélectron-volts], ce qui présuppose une énergie du faisceau d’électrons d’environ 20 MeV [mégaélectron-volts]. Malheureusement, à cette énergie d’électrons un bruit de fond neutronique commence à être généré. Ce bruit de fond provient de la réaction des photons sur l’isotope180 qui donne naissance à des neutrons différés qui interfèrent avec le signal retardé de photofission.

  • Scientific Instruments
CONT

Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer, PSP. This instrument is considered to be the most accurate radiometer produced commercially for the measurement of global sun and sky radiation, totally or in defined wavelength bands. It can be inverted to measure reflected shortwave radiation(from which the albedo can be calculated). The PSP has a circular multi-junction thermopile of the plated(copper-constantan) wire wound type which is temperature compensated in order to get a response that is independent of ambient temperature. The temperature sensed by the detector is nearly linear with the flux density of incident radiation. The instrument is supplied with a pair of removable precision ground and polished concentric hemispheres of Schott optical glass. The inner hemisphere is transparent to a wavelength of 0. 285-2. 800 µm. The outer dome can be replaced by Schott glass hemispherical filters which transmit within specified bandwidths. Desiccant is placed in the side of the instrument to absorb humidity inside the glass domes. Measurements are reported in Wm-2.

CONT

The Eppley PSP (or simply Eppley Pyranometer) is an instrument for the measurement of radiation in the range approximately between 285 and 2800 nm. As noted earlier, this wavelength range is commonly referred to as shortwave radiation, and it’s primary source is the sun.

DEF

A sphere which is coated internally with a diffusing paint as non-selective as possible and which is provided with an opening through which a measurement is made on a small region of the inner surface of the sphere with a visual or physical photometer. A screen placed inside the sphere prevents the point under observation from receiving any radiation directly from the source.
