  • Abstract
    A measurement of the neutron energy dependence of base current of a small signal bipolar transistor is given. The theory of the method, the neutron radiation damage calibration and measurement, the neutron dosimetry, and an experiment to test the concepts and to obtain preliminary results are described.
