monoenergetic neutron

Measurements in monoenergetic neutron beams with energies of 2 and 24 keV are described.

Their aim was to provide a source of monoenergetic neutrons designed and operated specifically for studies in radiation biology, dosimetry, and microdosimetry.

Well-collimated, monoenergetic neutron beams will be used with a fairly long distance between the neutron source and the (n,p) sample to reduce background radiation.

The Placzek transient occurs when a population of monoenergetic neutrons of energy E elastically scatter within a homogeneous medium.

For various monoenergetic neutrons, kerma and the dose distribution in LET are calculated in muscle and hence dose equivalent is derived.
