Response of RadFET dosimeters to high fluences of fast neutrons

We present irradiation experiments carried out on RadFETs in the high intensity T2 neutron beam at the CRC-UCL in Belgium. The aim of the test was to characterize the neutron response of RadFETs in view of their use as an integrated part of a radiation-monitoring sensor for the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments.
