Description

To measure the neutron energy spectrum of accelerator radiation field effectively, suitable ERBSS (Extended Range Neutron Multi-sphere Spectrometer) was selected according to the neutron field spectrum and energy response simulated by FLUKA, and the experiment spectrum and integration fluence was worked out by unfolding program based on the 'few-channel' unfolding theory. The feasibility of using this method for spectrum measurement was verified through comparison between the calculation and the experimental count rate. The defects of the experiment were analyzed and recommendations for improvement were given. (authors)
