Silicon Carbide Neutron Detectors
The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
متن کاملAdvantages of gated silicon single-photon detectors.
We present a gated silicon single-photon detector based on a commercially available avalanche photodiode. Our detector achieves a photon-detection efficiency of 45±5% at 808 nm with 2·10(-6) dark count per nanosecond at 30 V of excess bias and -30°C. We compare gated and free-running detectors and show that this mode of operation has significant advantages in two representative experimental sce...
متن کاملPerformance of silicon microdosimetry detectors in boron neutron capture therapy.
Reverse-biased silicon p-n junction arrays using Silicon-On-Insulator technology have been proposed as microdosimeters. The performance of such detectors in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is discussed. This work provides the first reported measurements using boron-coated silicon diode arrays as microdosimeters in BNCT. Results are in good agreement with measurements with gas proportional ...
متن کاملPerforated diode neutron detector modules fabricated from high-purity silicon
Compact neutron detectors are being designed and tested for use as low-power real-time personnel dosimeters. The neutron detectors are pin diodes that are mass produced from high-purity Si wafers. Each detector has thousands of circular perforations etched vertically into the device. The perforations are backfilled with LiF to make the pin diodes sensitive to thermal neutrons. The prototype dev...
متن کاملExperimental and Monte Carlo studies on the response of CR-39 detectors to Am-Be neutron spectrum
Background: The Poly-Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (PADC) detector is of particular interest for development of a fast neutron dosimeter. Fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the CR-39 detector and produce H, C and O recoils, as well as (n, α) reaction. These neutron- induced charged particles contribute towards the response of CR-39 detectors. Material and Methods: Electrochemical...
