Popis: The general expression of noise coherence function including the energy dependence of neutron detection cross section and the higher harmonic contributions in multi-dimensional model is developed on the basis of the modal expansion technique. Applicability of the method is demonstrated by numerical calculations carried out for a two-dimensional model of large fast reactor assemblies ZPPR-9 and −13C. The agreement between the theory and the measurement is satisfactory, which indicates the validity of the theory and the calculational model employed. In the assemblies, the coherence for a detector pair in a specific location can be approximately described by including the fundamental and the first harmonic modes.
