Abstract
A reliable system for performing a Fourier analysis of a
reactor noise signal has been constructed and utilized. Both
auto- and cross-correlation techniques were used to study
noise signals from the MITR hohlraum and the exponential
lattice. As predicted by theory* the efficiency of the detectors
used was insufficient to provide positive results. The
lattice transfer function was electronically simulated and
analyzed by the system confirming the reliability of the
equipment. Several methods are suggested for increasing detector
efficiencies to provide signal levels which will permit
extraction of information about the kinetic behavior of the
test lattice.
