Question: Assuming detector efficiency of (2 %), find the counts recorded by the detector for a gold foil irradiated in a thermal flux of (1.0 times

Assuming detector efficiency of \(2 \%\), find the counts recorded by the detector for a gold foil irradiated in a thermal flux of \(1.0 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{n} / \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\) for \(1 \mathrm{~h}\). Assume that the cooling time is \(20 \mathrm{~h}\). Flux perturbation factor can be assumed to be unity.
