Abstract

A quick method utilizing the ¹⁹F(n, α)¹⁶N reaction for detecting fast neutron contamination in photon beams is described. A teflon (CF₂)_n target is used and the 6.131 MeV γ line following the β-decay of ¹⁶N is detected usibg Ge(Li) detector. The advantages of the present method compared with other methods utilizing fast neutron activation such as ²⁷Al(n, α)²⁴Na or inelastic neutron scattering such as ¹²C(n, n′γ)¹²C reaction are discussed.
