contents The primary reference instruments for neutron fluence measurements used at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) are based on the primary standard for neutron measurements which is the differential neutron-proton scattering cross section. Such instruments require considerable effort for their operation and analysis. Therefore, routine measurements are carried out using a transfer instrument to facilitate the efficient provision of services to customers. A series of measurements was conducted to compare the transfer device to the primary reference instruments and ensure the traceability of neutron fluence measurements. This resulted in an improved characterization of the instrument and new analysis procedures.
