The calibration of a 3He spectrometer and its use to measure the neutron spectrum form an Am/Li source

  • 1. Birmingham Univ. (UK). Radiation Centre

Description

The response of a high pressure, gridded ionization counter containing 3He gas has been measured using monoenergetic neutron beams. Following a recommendation by an IAEA consultants' meeting, the counter has been used to measure the neutron spectrum from an AM/Li source. An extensive analysis of errors has been made, including the derivation of a full covariance matrix for the Am/Li neutron spectrum. (orig.)
