The limitation of current rem meters, which do not measure neutron dose equivalents above [approx] 15 MeV, is a serious problem at high-energy accelerator facilities, where a much wider range of neutron energies exist. The purpose of this work was to measure the response of a modified Andersson-Braun (A-B) rem meter to neutron energies up to 1 GeV. The modifications to the standard A-B rem meter were based on the experimental results of Pb(n,xn) reactions.
