Neutron analysis No Target, Empty Target, H20 Target

The weighted neutron count was found by dividing the total neutron count by the flux recorded by the NaI detector corresponding to those runs.

Run/File	Total Neutron Count	Weighted Neutron Count	Average Neutron Rate
110 H2O	2952	9.57 E-07	H2O Avg [math](5.93 \pm 2.75) \times 10^{-07}[/math]
111 H2O	1245	4.04 E-07
112 H2O	1424	4.62 E-07
114 H2O	2834	9.35 E-07
115 H2O	1177	3.88 E-07
116 H2O	1251	4.13 E-07
118 No Target	2574	1.20 E-06	No Target Avg [math](7.7 \pm 3.73) \times 10^{-07}[/math]
119 No Target	1164	5.44 E-07
120 No Target	1212	5.66 E-07
122 Empty Target	4161	1.10 E-06	Empty Target Avg [math](7.11 \pm 3.38 ) \times 10^{-07}[/math]
123 Empty Target	1839	4.85 E-07
124 Empty Target	2078	5.48 E-07

conclusion

The above neutron rate from each of the above targets is statistically the same.
