Abstract

A transmission gauge using neutron-γ ray beam to measure two parameters simultaneously is reported. In the first place, it was used to measure the moisture m and the mass M of the choir-pottery material sample. The m and M are functions of the neutron transmissivity Tn and the γ-ray transmissivity Tγ. The parameters of the function relationship can be got by the experiment calibration. Through the practical examination, the measured precision for the mass is 0.4g, for the moisture is 0.1%.
