A single sphere neutron spectrometer (SSNS) was designed to measure the neutron energy spectrum in mixed radiation fields. The spectrometer consisted of a 30 cm diameter single polyethylene moderating sphere with 19 pairs of 6Li- and 7Li-glass scintillator detectors located at the orthogonal x-, y-,...
