Abstract

The effective cutoff energies for cylindrical detectors with cylindrical filters in isotropic neutron flux were studied. The reactor spectra used in calculating the effective cutoff energy were those for infinite homogeneous media using the free gas model of deuterium and carbon. The values of the effective cutoff energies for cylindrical geometry in isotropic neutron flux are intermediate between those in isotropic and beam neutron fluxes for slab geometry. Change of detector position in the filter considerably influences the value of the effective cutoff energy. The self-shielding effect is negligibly small in micro counters.
