Creators

Description

Three different methods of flux monitoring are presented: (1) the activation foil method, (2) the fission chamber method, and (3) two techniques involving 10B. For each method, experimental problems and expected accuracies are discussed. An intercomparison of the techniques is proposed as well as comparisons with other methods. 11 refs., 1 tab
