Abstract
The gamma-ray dose component of a d(80) + Be neutron beam was measured with a 6Li-shielded Geiger-Mueller counter in a tissue-equivalent liquid phantom. The proportion of gamma-ray dose to total dose increased from 0.07 near the surface to 0.09 at 25 cm depth. Due to thermal neutron sensitivity, the G-M count rate increased by 25% in the absence of 6Li shielding.
