Snoopy Neutron Detector

["Harmon, Terry O'Devah (ONF) " <onf@bechteljacobs.org>]

I found this definition for a snoopy neutron detector from fermilab.

"12. Snoopy: A heavy, portable neutron counter consisting of an
Anderson/Braun type moderated BF3 counter connected to a ratemeter body.
This instrument
should be used only in low dose rate accelerator produced fields with long
spill times to avoid saturation of the proportional counter. An Eberline
ESP-2 supplies HV
and all data measurement functions. It can be operated in either dose rate
(mrem/hr) or integrate (mrem) modes. The ratemeter display should not be
used. A scaler
(with pulse shaper adapter) should be attached to the AUDIO/SCALER connector
and the pulses counted on the X103 range. Calibration is 7500 cts/mrem (AmBe
response). For beam-on low dose rate neutron surveys. "
