Computations of proton recoil energy losses from neutron irradiation of hydrogenous systems possessing plane symmetry were made for the purpose of fast neutron counter design. A digital computer code was written to carry out the calculations for two irradiation geometries: the neutron beam is assumed to be normally incident upon the system, and the system is exposed to an isotropic flux of neutrons. Numerical results are presented for neutrons of various energies incident on plane radiators of different thicknesses for these two irradiation geometries. These results were used in the conceptual design of fast neutron dosimeters employing a generalized dosimetry …

Numerical results are presented for neutrons of various energies incident on plane radiators of different thicknesses for these two irradiation geometries. These results were used in the conceptual design of fast neutron dosimeters employing a generalized dosimetry principle. (auth)
