摘要
This paper compares the use of both standard unfolding and Bayesian methods to analyze data extracted from neutron spectrometric measurements with a view to deriving some integral quantities characterizing a neutron field. We consider, as an example, the determination of the total neutron fluence and dose in the vicinity of an Am-Be source from Bonner spheres measurements. It is shown that the Bayesian analysis provides a rigorous estimation of these quantities and their correlated uncertainties and overcomes difficulties encountered in the standard unfolding methods.
