Description
The possibility of determining with activation detectors the spectral characteristics of the neutron generator radiation field was consider in this work. For measuring the neutron yield from a generator target there has been developed a technique that use threshold detectors which made of copper and aluminum and a screen made of cadmium.
The experimental neutron yield values that has been obtained with activation detectors coincide with the readings of the certified dosimeter-radiometer, within the limits of error.
There was also performed an simulation of this experiments with the Monte Carlo method. A significant effect on the simulation results of the design of the neutron generator and the measurement geometry is shown. The results of the experiment coincide with the simulation results within the error.
