Abstract
We have reported measured angular and energy distributions of neutron dose from 110 MeV 19F projectiles bombarding a thick aluminum target. The measurements are carried out with BC501 liquid scintillator detector using the time-of-flight technique. We have measured neutron energy distributions at 0 ∘ , 30 ∘ , 60 ∘ , 90 ∘ , and 120 ∘ and converted them to dose distributions using the ICRP recommended fluence to ambient dose equivalent and absorbed dose conversion coefficients. Similar conversions to ambient dose equivalent are done for theoretically estimated distributions from the nuclear reaction model code EMPIRE-2.18. The experimental results are compared with calculated ambient dose equivalent from different empirical formulations proposed by earlier workers. Based on the comparison, we have attempted modifications of the parameters in these empirical expressions.
