Abstract
The sensitivities to 4.2 and 5.5 MeV neutrons of different types of energy-compensated Geiger-Mueller counters used in mixed field dosimetry were measured using a field produced by the 2H(d, n)[deuteron, neutron]3He reaction with an isotropic .gamma.-dose component. Further results are presented on sensitivities to 14.7 MeV neutrons.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
