ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - In this paper we present a novel self-calibrating method for the determination and correction of dead time losses that uses directly the neutron signal from real measured material.

ESARDA Bulletin N.55 - This paper deals with the time after NGSS. It is time to design the technology that follows, to discuss the requirements for C/S systems in a broader sense, to study the very volatile general technical environment and select options for further development.

The 39th ESARDA symposium on Safeguards and Nuclear Non-Proliferation was held in Düsseldorf, Germany from 16-18 May, 2017.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This contribution is focused on the capabilities of the self-indication neutron resonance densitometry (SINRD) for the detection of diversion from a spent fuel assembly.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - In this work the authors quantify the impact of encapsulation on both the neutron spectrum and neutron intensity. They find that a 1.3 mm shell of copper reduces the mean energy by about 1 %.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - In this paper, we provide an overview of instrument options, discuss their limitations, and examine the main gaps between needs and capabilities for their field use.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This paper describes a method to transfer collected particles into particle suspensions. Such particle suspensions could then be mixed with similar suspensions containing different types of particles, for example different isotopic composition.

ESARDA Bulletin N.54 - This paper revisits the Currie method with attention to the false alarm probability (FAP) in Poisson and Gaussian data in non-destructive
assay (NDA) by gamma detection.
