Global Sensitivity Analysis of a Frequency Domain Reactor Noise Methodology using Welch's Method for the KRUSTY Experiment [Slides]

Reactor noise is a nondestructive approach to measure neutron/gamma fluctuations. Extract kinetic parameters such the prompt neutron decay constant (a). Used in applications such as safeguards and reactor physics. This work address the impact on precision from frequency domain analysis methodology..
