Archeological artifacts can be analyzed after neutron irradiation at the pulsed ISIS and muon source, UK, using a newly installed high purity germanium gamma ray spectrometer to perform activation analysis. In this work, details of measurement methods data analysis are presented. particular, it is explained how Monte Carlo calculations necessary evaluate detection efficiency, taking into accoun...

Neutron skyshine has been a significant source of environmental radiation exposure at many high-energy proton accelerators. A particularly troublesome source of skyshine neutrons has existed at Fermilab during operation of the 400-GeV high-energy physics program. This paper reports on several measurements of this source made with a DePangher precision long counter at large distances. The spatia...
