Description

An apparatus for measuring the integral neutron flux in the energy range from thermal up to 1 MeV and for estimating power spectra in the interval of 1 to 10 MeV is described. The apparatus is used for measuring neutron characteristics in the atmosphere on balloons. The detector system, electronic circuits and recording system are described. (author)
