Abstract
We have developed a simple method for unfolding recoil proton pulse height spectra obtained with NE213 and stilbene detectors to obtain neutron energy spectra. The derivative method used is not new, but its present implementation allows fast data reduction in primitive computers such as the LSI-11. It has been used in a portable field instrument which displays environmental neutron energy spectra, and it allows an array of primitive parallel processors to reduce data from many spectrometers simultaneously as is required in plasma diagnostics. The present implementation is in FORTRAN, but a PASCAL version is nearly completed. We compared our results to those obtained with more sophisticated data-reduction codes and found that our method provides nominally the same unfolded results on a variety of input spectra.
