The question of how to extract information about the system under study is discussed. In particular the measurement of the reactivity of subcritical cores, driven with various Poisson and non-Poisson (pulsed) sources, and the identification of fissile material samples, is illustrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book gives pragmatic information for those planning and executing and evaluating experiments on such systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Imre Pazsit,Lenard Pal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0080450644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780080450643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.73h x 7.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Imre Pazsit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799272665343,"sku":"9780080450643","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neutron-fluctuations-imre-pazsit-9780080450643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
