| Abstract: | In this study, the measured data of angular distribution of neutron dose
equivalent due to neutrons arising from the bombardment of 19.8 and 30 MeV
alpha particles on a thick aluminium target has been reported. These
measurements have been carried out at the BARC-TIFR Pelletron Linac Accelerator
Facility using neutron dose equivalent meters popularly known as REM meters.
The neutron dose equivalent values measured at a distance of 1 m from the
target at various angles relative to the incident beam direction are presented
here. The values are compared with those predicted by the empirical formulation
of Clapier & Zaidins. |
