Résumé
In the detection and measurement of neutron fields, with energies between 10 and 20 MeV, current passive neutron area monitors based on gold foil sensors usually do not have a perfect fitting of their dose response functions with the neutron fluence-to-ambient dose equivalent conversion function from ICRP74. However, apart from the radiative capture in
