BEAM MODELING FOR PGNAA EXPERIMENTAL FACILITY AT KARTINI REACTOR. A feasibility study on possible use of Kartini reactor’s beam port for Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) experimental facility is going on. This work is part of the revitalization program activities of Kartini research reactor, including utilization of the available irradiation facilities. This paper presents results of beam modeling at the tangential beam port to get neutron beam meeting the specified criteria. The study was conducted by means of simulations using MCNPX code. The result concludes that there are several possible variations of collimator models that can provide neutron beam meeting the specified criteria and that tangential beam port is considered to be feasible enough for the purpose of PGNAA experimental facility

The results of experimental verification of the possibility of increasing the neutron beams luminosity of polarizing devices based on magnetized supermirrors are presented. The essence of the experiment is to use both components of the neutron spins in the beam. The positive component is reflected from one magnetized mirror, and the passing mirror opposite component after turning 180 degree is reflected from another similar mirror. Both beams were recorded with one detector. Taking into account the reflection coefficients of the components by the mirrors and the efficiency of the rotation of the opposite component, an increase in the neutron intensity was obtained approximately twice with an average polarization of about 66%. The experiments were performed on a monochromatic neutron beam.
