shows the C/O ratio measured in water; it depends on the theoretical (real) C/O
and on the distance that tagged neutrons must travel to the target through
water. By knowing the functional dependence it is possible to nd the real
C/O if the distance to the object is known with the precision less than 1cm.
Functional dependence could be found by using the calibration procedure
described earlier. C/O measured in water could also depend on the object shape
and dimension and on the iron shirt thickness.
e C/O ratio is characteristic for many materials and it has been in the
center of interest in many resea ...
