Several rocket and balloon measurements of neutron intensity above Fort Churchill, Canada, were made during 1964 and 1965. The detector in each case was an anthracene–plastic "phoswich" using pulse-shape discrimination to distinguish between neutrons, gamma rays, and charged particles. Neutrons were recorded in the energy range 2–11 MeV. Measurements indicate that the albedo neutron flux is somewhat lower than theoretical predictions but is in agreement with reasonable extrapolations to zero atmospheric depth of measurements within the atmosphere made by other workers. The exponent of the differential energy spectrum appears to change from −1.4 at large atmospheric depths to −0.8 outside the atmosphere.

AbstractThe experiment SONG (SOlar Neutron and Gamma rays) for the low altitude satellite CORONAS-I is described. The instrument is capable to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection in the energy range 0.1 – 100 MeV as well as detection of neutrons with energies above 30 MeV. As a by-product, the electrons in the range 11 – 108 MeV will be measured too. The pulse shape discrimination technique (PSD) is used.
