We are glad to bring to your attention a new preprint «Calibration of the Neutron Multisphere Spectrometer in Open Geometry» P16-2020-12 published by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors are Krylov V. A., Pavlik E. E., Timoshenko G. N.

Abstract:

The procedure for calibrating the neutron multisphere spectrometer with a ²⁵²Cf source in open geometry is described, and a calibration coefficient averaged over six spheres is obtained. The results are confirmed with unfolding the initial ²⁵²Cf spectrum by the spectrometer readings.

The investigation has been performed at the Laboratory of Radiation Biology JINR.
