Abstract

Bonner sphere measurements are presented for flights at altitudes of up to 12 km and geomagnetic latitudes between 26°N and 86°N and compared with results obtained by several survey meters. As an example of the natural neutron background near sea level, results from a recent longterm measurement campaign performed at the PTB site using an extended spectrometer are presented. The dependence of neutron fluence and ambient dose equivalent on the atmospheric pressure is demonstrated.
