Description

'Metrology', in a stricter sense of this term, means measurement of neutron-physical variables like neutron fluence, neutron spectrum, neutron energy dose, neutron equivalent dose. This is extended to measurement of a more general kind in which neutron play a dominant part. Three different subjects are addressed: 1) Calibration of neutron dosemeters for radiation protection; 2) neutron interferometry to measure coherent scattering length and as a macroscopic test in quantum mechanics; 3) precision measurement of the Planck's constant to neutron mass ratio h/mn. (orig./HP)

Abstract (German)

'Metrologie' bezieht sich im engeren Sinne auf die Messung neutronen-physikalischer Groessen wie Neutronenfluenz, Neutronenspektrum, Neutronen-Energiedosis, Neutronenaequivalentdosis. Dieser Rahmen wird erweitert auf Messungen allgemeiner Art, bei denen die Neutronen eine beherrschende Rolle spielen. Angesprochen werden drei sehr unterschiedliche Themenkreise: 1) Kalibrierung von Neutronendosimetern fuer den Strahlenschutz; 2) Neutroneninterferometrie zur Messung von kohaerenten Streulaengen und als makroskopischer Test der Quantenmechanik und 3) Praezisionsmessung des Verhaeltnisses h/mn, der Planck-Konstante zur Neutronenmasse.
