Scientific paper

Balloon-borne organic liquid spectrometers were used to measure the energy spectrum and flux of fast neutrons (in the 2-75 MeV energy range) near the top of the atmosphere (at 4.2-2.9 g/sq cm) over Palestine, Texas. Pulse shape discrimination on each detector separated the protons and alpha particles produced within the scintillator by neutron interactions from the electrons produced by gamma rays, and the response functions for monoenergetic neutrons were determined from accelerator calibrations. Results for neutron leakage current rates are presented.
