Precise method for measuring the neutron response of a neutron-insensitive dosimeter

Creators

Description

By using a newly developed procedure for experimental determination of the neutron sensitivity function of a dosimeter, results were obtained for a commercially available graphite ionization chamber. The n/γ sensitivity as a function of neutron energy from 1 to 20 MeV is presented for the air-filled chamber as well as for continuously flowing CO2, O2, and argon. Similar results obtained for homogeneous tissue-equivalent chambers are presented for comparison. A detailed discussion of uncertainties in the final results is presented
