Hydrogen Recoil Proportional Counter for Neutron Detection

Novel concept for neutron detection: proportional counter filled with 10B nanoparticle aerosol

The high neutron detection efficiency, good gamma-ray discrimination and non-toxicity of 3He made of proportional counters filled with this gas the obvious choice for neutron detection, particularly in radiation portal monitors (RPM), used to control the illicit transport of nuclear material, of which neutron detectors are key components. 3He is very rare and during the last decade this gas has...

Characterization of a mid-sized Li foil multi-wire proportional counter neutron detector

A 550 cm thermal neutron detector was constructed with five parallel sheets of 75 mm thick Li foil (95% enrichment) spaced 1.63 cm apart. Anode wire banks containing a plurality of anode wires were strung on both sides of each foil, six banks in total. The chamber was backfilled with P-10 proportional gas and over-pressured to 1.1, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.8 atm (111, 151, 202, and 284 kPa). The design ...

islanding detection methods for microgrids

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...
