Abstract
The Bohnel method, introduced by Bohnel in his paper in 1985 [4], is currently one of the most basic and useful tools in Neutron Multiplicity Counting, enabling the standard models to take into accountssion chains in the tested sample itself. For the method to be applicable, the duration of thession chain must be suciently smaller than the detection window in which the detections are taken. In the present study, we describe the limitations of the Bohnel method in terms of the measurement system and the tested sample physical attributes.
