Title: MAXED, a computer code for the deconvolution of multisphere neutron spectrometer data using the maximum entropy method

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/663223· OSTI ID:663223

The problem of analyzing data from a multisphere neutron spectrometer to infer the energy spectrum of the incident neutrons is discussed. The main features of the code MAXED, a computer program developed to apply the maximum entropy principle to the deconvolution (unfolding) of multisphere neutron spectrometer data, are described, and the use of the code is illustrated with an example. A user`s guide for the code MAXED is included in an appendix. The code is available from the authors upon request.
