Abstract

The detector response function was needed to measure the neutron fluence based on the count rates from Bonner Sphere Spectrometer (BSS). The determination of response function of a BSS with 6LiI(Eu) detector has been performed using Monte Carlo MCNPX code. This calculation was performed for BSS using scintillation detector of 4 mm × 4 mm 6LiI(Eu) which is placed at the center of a set of polyethylene spheres i.e bare, 2", 3", 5", 8", 10", and 12" diameters. The BSS response functions were obtained for neutron energy of 1x10-9 MeV - 1x102  MeV in 111 energy bins and each value has an uncertainty less or equal to 2 %. The response function were compared with two response functions reported in the literature i.e IAEA document in Technical Reports Series 403 (TRS-403) and the calculation from Vega-Carrillo, et al. Also validated with measurement 252Cf neutron spectra, that shown the simulated BSS spectra were quite close to the experimental measured with a differrence of 3%.
