Multisphere spectrometers have been used widely to determine neutron spectra and other related quantities from various radiation sources. At Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), the multisphere spectrometer has taken measurements at different LBL accelerator facilities (the SuperHILAC, the BEVALAC, and the 88{double prime}-Cyclotron) as well as for measurements in the tunnel of the Tevatron at Fermilab. Spectra were unfolded with a LOUHI code using Sanna's response function, which gave satisfactory results. The neutron-scattering effect is important for the Bonner detectors, which will be discussed briefly. 9 refs.
