文摘
- •
This paper describes tests of a thermal neutron detector based on a thin scintillator ZnS(Ag) with 6LiF.
- •
The results are a measurement of the background neutron flux from the detector and the detector's efficiency.
- •
The thermal neutron flux at different locations, and for different conditions around the Baksan Neutrino Observatory are reported.
