Abstract
We report on the measurement of the flux and spectra of the fast neutron background at BUST with a rock overburden of about 850 m w e, using a special method for the neutron flux estimation based on neutron activation analysis. The neutron-induced events are identified by a two-pulse signature of neutron inelastic scattering process.
