title: Detection system for measuring dose equivalent from fast neutrons in mixed gamma-neutron fields.
abstract: A hybrid detector for measuring fast neutrons in mixed gamma-neutron fields is discussed in this paper. The detector consists of an ionization chamber with components made from a plastic scintillator. Its operation is based on the two detection systems thus combined. Its parameters and domain of applicability are explained. This paper proposes a rapid integral method for measuring the neutron-dose equivalent based on this detector, which allows a good separation of the gamma component.
