Corrections to spectra measured by 6Li and 3HE semiconductor spectrometers in an isotropic neutron flux

Correction factors are calculated which allow for particles escaping detection when these spectrometers are used in isotropic neutron fluxes. For fast-neutron spectra measurements between 1 MeV and 6 MeV, the maximum correction factor is 7 per cent for the 6Li spectrometer and 10 per cent for the 3H...

Description
Summary:Correction factors are calculated which allow for particles escaping detection when these spectrometers are used in isotropic neutron fluxes. For fast-neutron spectra measurements between 1 MeV and 6 MeV, the maximum correction factor is 7 per cent for the 6Li spectrometer and 10 per cent for the 3He spectrometer.
