Method 2: Using time difference in two peaks

Calculation

If we assume gamma flash is coming from target, then by time difference in gamma peak and neutron peak, we can tell the energies in neutrons.

[math]t_n[/math]: Neutron time of flight

[math]t_{\gamma}[/math]: Gamma time of flight

d: Distance between detector and target.

d for polarized case: [math]d_{pol}[/math] = 91.25 inches = 231.775 cm.

d for unpolarized top detector: [math]d_{unpol top}[/math]=96.25 inches = 244.745 cm.

d for unpolarized side detector: [math]d_{unpol side}[/math]=91.39 inches = 232.131 cm.


[math]t_n-t_{\gamma}=\frac{d}{v}-\frac{d}{c}=d(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{c}[/math])

=> [math]v=\frac{1}{\frac{t_n-t_{\gamma}}{d}-\frac{1}{c}}[/math]


[math]\beta_n=\frac{v}{c}[/math]

[math]\gamma_n=\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\beta^2}}[/math]

[math]E_{tot}=M_n\gamma_nc^2[/math]

[math]E_k=E_{tot}-M_n c^2[/math]
