Differential neutron energy spectra measured on spacecraft in low Earth orbit

Differential neutron energy spectra measured on spacecraft in low Earth orbit

Two methods for measuring neutrons in the range from thermal energies to dozens of MeV were used. In the first method, alpha-particles emitted from the 6Li(n,alpha)T reaction are detected with the help of plastic nuclear track detectors, yielding results on thermal and resonance neutrons. Also, fi...
