Comparison of unfolding codes for neutron spectrometry with Bonner spheres.
Radiat. Prot. Dosim. 161, 46-52 (2014)
This work compares the results of four different unfolding codes, MSANDB, MAXED, FRUIT and BONMA, which are based on different unfolding techniques. Additionally, Bayesian parameter estimation is also considered. All unfolding codes were supplied with the same set of input data acquired at the Environmental Research Station 'Schneefernerhaus' on the Zugspitze mountain, corresponding to continuous measurements of secondary neutrons from cosmic radiation. The HMGU high-energy extended Bonner sphere spectrometer (BSS), consisting of 16 measuring channels with He-3 proportional counters, was used as a reference BSS. The differences in the neutron spectra obtained with the different unfolding codes are discussed, and the uncertainties of integral quantities, like neutron fluence and ambient dose equivalent, are quantified.
