Scientific paper

Results are presented of balloon flights made in November 1975 and May 1977 over Palestine, Texas, to measure the energy spectrum and flux of atmospheric neutron from 8 to 60 MeV and gamma rays from 2 to 10 MeV. The measurements are made with a time-of-flight (TOF) system using organic liquid scintillators at balloon altitudes corresponding to 3-5 g/sq cm. Pulse shape discrimination is included in each scintillator to discriminate between neutrons and gamma rays. Upward and downward moving neutrons and gamma rays are measured. Measured values of neutron leakage current at various energy levels are presented, along with the values of total downward and upward gamma-ray fluxes.
