Abstract
The uniformity of density and elemental composition of A-150 plastic demonstrated bymeasurements is important because this material is widely employed in neutron dosimetry [used to construct ionization chambers and other dosimetry adjuncts]. For the application of the plastic to calorimetric neutron dosimetry, these results prompt the expectation that the thermal defects to be measured will show similar consistency.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
