The Cosmic Ray Induced Neutron Spectrum at the Summit of the Zugspitze (2963m)

This paper describes a neutron spectrometry experiment at the summit of the mountain Zugspitze. The measured spectral neutron fluence rate is compared with results of particle transport calculations of cosmic primaries and secondaries down to the depth of 700 g.cm-2 in the atmosphere. The results ma...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This paper describes a neutron spectrometry experiment at the summit of the mountain Zugspitze. The measured spectral neutron fluence rate is compared with results of particle transport calculations of cosmic primaries and secondaries down to the depth of 700 g.cm-2 in the atmosphere. The results may serve as a basis for the estimation of neutron exposure to air crews and other persons flying frequently.
