Serre S., Castellani-Coulié K., Paul D., Lacoste V. : “Optimization using Monte Carlo calculations of a Bonner sphere spectrometer extended to high energies for the neutron environments characterization”, IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2009, 56 (6), art. no. 5341425, pp. 3582-3590

Investigations using Monte Carlo calculations were performed on the possibilities of designing a Bonner sphere neutron spectrometer adapted in particular to the natural radiation environment in order to extend its efficiency to the high energy domain.
