Description

The detection efficiencies of typical slow neutron proportional counters and the correction coefficients for Maxwell spectra are deduced. For 3He and BF3 proportional counters, the measured detection efficiency of thermal neutron is consistent with the theoretic value satisfactorily. In the energy range above 0.1 eV, the theoretic values deduced from 3He (n, p) T reaction are less than that of the Monte Carlo Calculation, in which (n, n) reaction has been taken into account, and the experimental values. However, the experimental values are better consistent with the Monte Carlo Calculation
