摘要:
This invention relates to an apparatus for detecting hydrogeneous material on a ship's deck comprising a neutron source located below the surface of the ship's deck and emitting fast/energy-rich neutrons, and a detector device that is located below the surface of the ship's deck and detecting thermal neutrons. The invention further relates to a corresponding method of detecting hydrogeneous material on a ship's deck. Hereby an apparatus and a method are provided for detecting occurrences of water on a ship's deck, wherein these occurrences appear in particular when travelling in rough weather conditions. The apparatus being located below the ship's deck, it is consequently not exposed to wear due to rough weather conditions.

The invention pertains to a system and method for the inspection and/or search for concealed objects (40), which impinges a monoenergetic neutron beam (16a) upon an object (40), notes the energy distribution of the neutrons scattered (16b) from the object (40) and correlates the energy/intensity distribution of the scattered neutrons (16b) with the presence or absence of particular elements. The invention may be utilized to obtain qualitative or quantitative data regarding the composition of the object (40) under interrogation.

A local area cosmogenic neutron sensor is used for detecting moisture within a measurement surface. A neutron detector is positioned on a stand structure holding the detector above a measurement surface. A moderator material and neutron shield are positioned around at least a portion of the neutron detector. The neutron shield substantially covers lateral sides and an entirety of a top of the neutron detector and is not positioned on a bottom side of the neutron detector. A thermal neutron shield is positioned below the neutron detector and in a path of neutron travel between the measurement surface and the neutron detector to substantially block environmental thermal neutrons from reaching the neutron detector, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and signal contrast of the local area cosmogenic neutron sensor.
摘要:
The surface and/or subterranean locations of well treating fluids, after the treating fluids have been introduced into wells and used for performing treatments therein, are detected by including a non-hazardous thermal neutron absorbing material in the fluid and performing the treatment in the well with the fluid. Fast neutrons from a source thereof are emitted in the well after the treatment, to interact with elements in the well and be thermalised. The thermal neutrons backscattered in the well are detected, and a count representing the detected thermal neutrons is generated. The subterranean locations of the treating fluid are determined by comparing the thermal neutron counts in the well before and after placement of the thermal neutron absorbing treating fluid therein.
