Abstract
The importance of geometry in detector-filter arrangements used for integral neutron spectrum measurements is discussed, and cadmium transmission functions are presented for a number of detectors ranging from cylinders of 0·040 in. o.d. to slabs of finite thickness and infinite extent, with close-fitting filters of thickness 0·030, 0·040 and 0·050 in. The transmission function as defined in this paper is dependent on the physical size of the detector and the importance of this consideration is also demonstrated. In addition the transmission functions have been used to determine the effective cadmium cut-off energies for 239Pu, 235U, 233U and 1 V detectors.
