Search for solar neutrons from 10 to 100 MeV

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4333682

A search for solar neutrons is reported from a balloon flight launched from Palestine, Texas on September 26, 1971. The Sun was observed from 8:30 to 19:30 CST. The neutrons were detected with a telescope consisting of two 0.5 sq. m. scintillation detectors spaced 1 meter apart using a double scattering time-of- flight technique. Upper limits for solar neutrons in the energy intervals 10 to 30, 30 to 50, and 50 to 100 MeV are 1.1 x 10/sup -4/,2.6 x 10/sup -4/, 5.9 x 10/ sup -4/ cm/sup 2/-sec respectively. These are combined into an overall upper limit of 5.1 x 10/sup -4/ n/cm/sup 2/-sec. (auth)
