MONTE CARLO CALCULATIONS OF FAST-NEUTRON ENERGY SPECTRA IN AIR. Paper 11 of PAPERS FROM SEVENTH SEMIANNUAL SHIELDING INFORMATION MEETING, OCTOBER 14-15, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4092552

Results are presented of Monte Carlo air-scattering cal culations for source-neutron energies above the threshold energy of inelastic scattering. Energy and angular distributions of the scattered neutron flux and angular distributions of the scattered dose rate are given for point isotropic monoenergetic sources at source-detector separation distances to 200 ft. The results are compared with calculations by Holland and Richards and by Zerby to evaluate the effect of inelastic scattering on the scattered energy spectrum. (auth)
