Abstract: | With the help of a set of threshold and resonance detectors, measurements were made of the spatial and energy distribution of secondary neutrons in graphite and nickel blocks. Absolute values of the neutron flux as a function of depth in an infinite slab were obtained for a plane, monodireetionat proton source. The energy distribution of the secondary neutrons in the energy range 2.5·10–8 to 6.6·102 Mev was represented by seven groups. The magnitude of the dose behind plane nickel and graphite shielding as a function of thickness was also determined. The results are discussed.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 18, No. 6, pp. 573–578, June, 1965 |
