  • 1. School of Nuclear Science and Technology, Lanzhou Univ., Lanzhou (China)

Description

The neutron spectrum from the Am-Be neutron source in the radiation shield cavity was measured by threshold detector method. The threshold detector was chosen from multiple activation foils. The experimental reaction rate ratio of each foil was respectively measured. The energy spectrum in radiation shield cavity was deduced by using the method of SAND-II. Meanwhile, the effect of precision to analyze spectrum was also detailedly analyzed. (authors)
