Experimental and theoretical study of BF3 detector response for thermal neutrons in reflecting materials

Experimental measurements of the response of BF3 detector to a 3 Ci Am–Be neutron source for three different reflecting materials, i.e., aluminum, wood, and Perspex of varying thicknesses have been carried out. The varying contribution of wall effect to the response due to change in active volume of...
