Infos

The DONA neutron spectrometer concept is based on the measurement of neutron induced activity in a series of small metal disks that have been exposed to a neutron field. The induced activity is measured and the neutron spectrum is calculated using and unfolding technique, based on environmental neutron spectra. A complete measurement is performed in three steps: 1. Placement of the detector device (the holder with the metal disks) at the measurement site. 2. Transport of the detector to a gamma-ray measurement laboratory where the neutron induced activity is detected. 3. Calculation of the neutron intensity and spectrum using unfolding algorithms and an environmental neutron spectrum library. The novelty of the approach lies in the concept as such, including usage of carefully selected metal disks arranged in a holder, high performance gamma-ray spectrometry and spectrum unfolding using a library of environmental neutron spectra.
