Abstract
There is provided a method for determining a rate of radiation. The method comprises determining information from a first set of neutrons, wherein the first set of neutrons are analysed at a first neutron detector. The method also comprises calibrating, based on the information from the first set of neutrons, a neutron signal spectrum of a second set of neutrons, wherein the second set of neutrons are analysed at a second neutron detector.
Claims18
A method for determining a radiation dose, comprising:
- determining information from a first set of neutrons, wherein the first set of neutrons are analysed at a first neutron detector;
- and
- calibrating, based on the information from the first set of neutrons, a neutron signal spectrum of a second set of neutrons, wherein the second set of neutrons are analysed at a second neutron detector.
A system for determining a radiation dose, comprising:
- a processor;
- a first detector configured to detect a first set of neutrons;
- and
- a second detector configured to detect a second set of neutrons, wherein the first and second detectors are configured to be in communication with a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to calibrate, based on the information about the first set of neutrons, a neutron signal spectrum of the second set of neutrons.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system having a first detector and a second detector, cause the system to:
- determine information from a first set of neutrons, wherein the first set of neutrons are analysed at the first detector;
- and
- calibrate, based on the information from the first set of neutrons and using the processor, a neutron signal spectrum of a second set of neutrons, wherein the second set of neutrons are analysed at the second neutron detector.
