Abstract

NSDUAZ (Neutron Spectrometry and Dosimetry from the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas) is a user friendly neutron unfolding package for Bonner sphere spectrometer with 6LiI(Eu) developed under LabView® environment. Unfolding is carried out using a recursive iterative procedure with the SPUNIT algorithm, where the starting spectrum is obtained from a library initial guess spectra to start the iterations. The NSDUAZ performance was evaluated using 252Cf, 252Cf/D2O, 241AmBe neutron sources and the neutrons outside the radial beam port of a TRIGA Mark III nuclear reactor running to 10 W.

► This paper presents the NSDUAZ unfolding package. ► Advantages and drawbacks of NSDUAZ package are pointed out. ► NSDUAZ is evaluated with neutrons from a nuclear reactor and isotopic neutron sources.
