Abstract
The efficiency of the long boron counter is calculated as a function of the incident neutron energy using the two-group model of neutron diffusion in conjunction with the age and exponential approximations for the slowing down of neutrons. The neutron energies considered are [Formula: see text]. Results are summarized graphically for several counter geometries.Keywords
