Abstract: During the operation of external neutron generators of the Nuclear Physics Institute of The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the neutron room background is produced in cyclotron hall. To assess this effect, the neutron room background was measured using the activation method of dosimetry foils. To unfold the background spectrum from the set of measured reaction rates, the method of spectrum description by the special analytical function was employed.
