Abstract
A time-of-flight method for measurement of thermal neutron spectra in pulsed neutron sources with an efficiency more than 10(5) times higher than the standard method is described. The main problems associated w ith the electric current technique for time-of-flight spectra measurem ent are examined. The methodical errors, problems of special neutron d etector design and other questions are discussed. Some experimental re sults for spectra from the surfaces of water and solid methane moderat ors obtained at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor (Dubna, Russia) are presented .
