L’effet de spectre est lié à la modification de la répartition énergétique des neutrons : c’est principalement le spectre des neutrons thermiques, lié au spectre de Maxwell et donc à kT, qui est concerné; T n’est plus maintenant la température du combustible mais celle du modérateur. Si toutes les sections efficaces variaient proportionnellement avec la vitesse des neutrons, par exemple selon une loi en 1/v [où v représente la vélocité des neutrons], cette modification de spectre ne modifierait pas la réactivité. 1, record 2, French, - effet%20de%20spectre

DOSTEL as a telescope is used for the measurement of time dependent LET [Linear Energy Transfer] spectra separately for galactic cosmic particles and trapped particles in different directions at defined shielding locations. DOSTEL is used as reference instrument for the MDUs [Mobile Dosimetry Units]. The MDUs are designed as small lightweight personal dosimeters but may be used also at different locations inside the spacecraft. The measurement set is completed by an onboard small compact TLD-Reader [Thermoluminescence Dosimetry] for the study of spatial distribution and time dependence of absorbed doses and for neutron dose measurements. The whole dosimetry set shall be used for routine environmental, individual and EVA [Extra Vehicular Activity] dosimetry. The single detector systems complement each other in their recording characteristics. 3, record 5, English, - dosimetry%20telescope
