Abstract
Continuing a joint PTB/NPL/GSF programme the experimental determination of the responses of four Bonner sphere sets has been extended into the thermal neutron region. The results are presented and compared with calculated responses where available. The results highlight the importance of experimentally validating Bonner sphere response function calculations wherever possible.
