Popis: In a joint PTB/NPL/GSF experimental programme the responses of four sets of Bonner Spheres were determined experimentally using monoenergetic neutrons in the range from 8 keV to 2.5 MeV. The measurements showed effects which can be understood qualitatively, but there are discrepancies with calculated values. It is questionable if these discrepancies can be explained by differences in the polyethylene density and detector characteristics employed in this experiment and those assumed in the calculations.
