Applications of Bonner sphere detectors in neutron field dosimetry

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6050503· OSTI ID:6050503
;
The theory of neutron moderation and spectroscopy are briefly reviewed, and moderators that are useful for Bonner sphere spectrometers are discussed. The choice of the neutron detector for a Bonner sphere spectrometer is examined. Spectral deconvolution methods are briefly reviewed, including derivative, parametric, quadrature, and Monte Carlo methods. Calibration is then discussed. (LEW)
