Theoretically derived calibration of the neutron moisture meter.

土壤的含水量在农业、工程、土地和水资源管理等一系列广泛的情况下至关重要。在野外测量土壤水分含量是有问题的，即使是常用的方法，如中子探针，也只能得到有限的准确度。这项研究将使中子探头的校准曲线从理论上得到确定，从而提高水分含量测量的准确性，并提高其对工业和研究的实用性。

The moisture content of soils is of key importance in a wide range of situations including agriculture, engineering and land and water management. The measurement of soil moisture contents in the field is problematic, and even commonly used methods like the neutron probe give results of limited accuracy. This research will enable calibration curves for the neutron probe to be determined theoretically, thereby improving the accuracy of moisture content measurements and enhancing its usefulness to industry and research.
