The argument that well-characterised quasi-monoenergetic neutron (QMN) sources reaching into the energy domain >20 MeV are needed is presented. A brief overview of the existing facilities is given, and a list of key factors that an ideal QMN source for dosimetry and spectrometry should offer is presented. The authors conclude that all of the six QMN facilities currently in existence worldwide o...

The main high temperature peaks in the glow curves of LiF:Mg,Ti (assigned as 6 and 7), which appear at about 260 O C-270 O C, are known to have an enhanced response to higher LET radiation (as α particles) than to lower LET radiation (as photons). This effect can be used to discriminate between neutron and gamma radiations. In most works in the past a slow heating rate of up to ∼10C/s was emplo...
