Neutron dose evaluation method which flexibly respond to an alteration of neutron field is developing. The mulitidetector method is introduced. The method uses a convex hull in a topological vector space composed of the ratio of multi detector outputs and objective quantities. The convex hull provides range of possible conversion factor to obtain objective quantity based on the circumstance condition. The convex hull is sophisticated with elemental neutron spectra group of respective neutron field. Mixed gas proportional counter is applied to validate the effectively of the dose evaluation method with a convex hull.
