Beam Correction Factors

["Kathryn M. Brock" <brockkm@engr.orst.edu>]

When monitoring with a portable neutron remmeter, is it appropriate when
measuring a small collimated beam to correct for the size of the detector
(sphere) volume in the same manner that the dose rate is corrected when
measuring a gamma beam with an ion chamber?  Is there a good reference
available?

Thanks,
Kathy
