The Neutron Fluence and H*(10) Response of the New LB 6411 REM Counter

Abstract

A new rem counter with a response tailored to match the shape of H^*(10)/_ as defined by ICRU and ICRP has been developed recently in the frame of a Technology Transfer Project of the Research Centre Karlsruhe with the industrial partner EG&G Berthold, Wildbad. In this paper, a carefully established, consistent fluence and ambient dose equivalent response function is provided for this detector as well as the effective response calculated for more than 500 neutron spectra from a catalogue.
