Feasibility of Monitoring the Maximum Energy of Fast Neutrons Using Pulse-Height Spectra from a 10B Detector

The feasibility of monitoring maximum energy of neutrons in the neutron flux from a source by analyzing pulse-height spectra from a 10 B detector is investigated. Ionization losses of 4 He and 7 Li nuclei in two detector gaps are modeled. The clear experimental dependence of the position of the maxi...

Zusammenfassung:The feasibility of monitoring maximum energy of neutrons in the neutron flux from a source by analyzing pulse-height spectra from a 10 B detector is investigated. Ionization losses of 4 He and 7 Li nuclei in two detector gaps are modeled. The clear experimental dependence of the position of the maximum and the shape of these spectra on and calculations in agreement with this dependence can be used to monitor the maximum energy of neutrons.
