摘要
Measured neutron doses at different angles from 100MeV F-19 projectiles bombarding a thick copper target are reported. The measurements are carried out at 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 90 degrees angles with respect to the incident projectile beam using a commercially available neutron dose equivalent meter. The experimental data are compared with calculated dose from different empirical formulations proposed by earlier workers and also with earlier measured data, obtained with identical experimental conditions for 110MeV F-19 incident on a thick aluminum target.
