Scintillation Neutron Detector on the Basis of Boron-containing Plastics
This reaction is endothermic, its threshold is 6.63 МeV, and the cross-section is 4·10 сm. Li nucleus with Т1/2=0.847 s is transformed into two α-particles of 1.5 МeV energy each, and one β-частицу of energy 13 МeV. The light yield in a plastic scintillator due to capture of thermal neutrons from α-particles and Li nuclei is equivalent to the yield from γ-quanta or electrons of energies from 65...
متن کاملAn Embedded Microprocessor Design for the Pulse Shape Discrimination of a Plastic Scintillating Neutron Detector
Kaua‘i Community College (Kaua‘i CC) is presently participating in an effort to develop a space industry in Hawai‘i. This effort includes future launches of University of Hawai‘i supported micro-class satellites from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kaua‘i. Kaua‘i CC’s participation is represented by operation and maintenance of a ground station, located on campus, to suppor...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملAn artificial neural network based neutron–gamma discrimination and pile-up rejection framework for the BC-501 liquid scintillation detector
BC-501 is a liquid scintillation detector sensitive to both neutrons and gamma rays. As these produce slightly different signals in the detector, they can be discriminated based on their pulse shape (Pulse Shape Discrimination, PSD). This paper reports on results obtained with several PSD techniques and compares them with a method based on artificial neural networks (NN) developed for this appl...
متن کاملCharacterization of R-134a superheated droplet detector for neutron detection.
R-134a (C2H2F4) is a low cost, easily available and chlorine free refrigerant, which in its superheated state can be used as an efficient neutron detector. Due to its high solubility in water the R-134a based superheated droplet detectors (SDD) are usually very unstable unless the detector is fabricated using a suitable additive, which stabilizes the detector. The SDD is known to have superheat...
