[ RadSafe ] RE: Gamma measurements in planes

Hmmmmmmmm,

       Dear Radsafe:

             Hope you all are quite well.  One source of information about 
Neutron
       Flux densities as a function of altitude is given in Accelerator Health
       Physics (a book) by Patterson and Thomas.  You might want to remove
       the 1/Energy dependence in the data, so you can actually see the
       neutron peaks in the data.

             I think Paul Goldhagen of the EML (Environmental Measurements 
Lab---
       New York City) has done Bonner Multisphere Spectrometer
       measurements in airplanes.  I suspect he also did some gamma
       measurements.  Try looking in Health Physics or other journals for his
       articles.  Day readings might be different than night readings???

            Happy Holidays!!!!
