Measurements of neutron fluxes with energies from thermal to several MeV in near-Earth space: SINP results

Evaluation of the neutron radiation environment inside the International Space Station based on the Bonner Ball Neutron Detector experiment

“…Badhwar, 1997a), the peak neutron dose equivalent rate position is in good agreement with the peak neutron flux position measured onboard the MIR in 1999 (Shavrin et al, 2002). The neutron dose equivalent rate distribution also presents a similar tendency to that reported by Shavrin et al (2002) for the peak neutron dose equivalent rate to occur at a position slightly north and east from the peak absorbed dose rate position caused by trapped protons in other studies (e.g. Badhwar, 1997a).…”
