“…This positioning assured that the gauge lengths of the samples received uniform exposures. Unlike the experiments of Chabane et al [21], our samples were located approximately 4 cm from the source. This close placement assured that the contribution of gammas and low-energy scattered neutrons to the overall dose ("room scatter") was negligible.…”

We establish a correspondence between the mechanical properties (maximum load and failure elongation) of Spectralon™ porous PTFE irradiated with 14 MeV neutrons and 1.17 and 1.33 MeV gammas from a cobalt-60 source. From this correspondence we infer that the effects of neutrons and gammas on this material are approximately equivalent for a given absorbed dose. * Corresponding author, gourdin1@llnl.gov

“…There is a 32 mm diameter ring that is 12.3 mm thick around the active zone. The detection principle has been described in previous work [7][8][9][10]. When a neutron interacts with a silicon nucleus, secondary ionizing particles are produced.…”

Embedded silicon detector to investigate the natural radiative environment

et al. 2012

A detector based on a silicon diode was developed to investigate the natural radiative environment. As the detector is embeddable, it has low power consumption and is lightweight and small. The instrument was tested under different neutron beams and used during stratospheric balloon flights. A comparison of the experimental results with Monte Carlo simulation results shows that the embeddable detector is a promising means of investigating the natural radiative environment.
