Initial calibration of a multisphere spectroscopy system was completed using four scenarios. Spectrum unfolding was compared using three default spectrum methods, impacting dosemeter characterization.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear physics and instrumentation
  • Radiation detection and measurement

Background:

  • Multisphere spectroscopy is crucial for characterizing neutron radiation fields.
  • Accurate calibration is essential for reliable spectral analysis and dose assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform the initial calibration of a multisphere spectroscopy system.
  • To compare different spectrum unfolding methods for accuracy.
  • To evaluate the impact of spectral solutions on dosemeter characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Calibration performed using four standard scenarios at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
  • Spectrum unfolding executed with three distinct methods for default spectrum construction: simple parameter models, Monte Carlo calculations, and physical measurement.
  • Comparative analysis of spectral solutions derived from each unfolding method.
