Superheated Drop as a Neutron Spectrometer
Superheated drops are known to vaporise when exposed to energetic nuclear radiation since the discovery of bubble chamber. The application of superheated drops in neutron research specially in neutron dosimetry is a subject of intense research for quite sometime. As the degree of superheat increases in a given liquid, less and less energetic neutrons are required to cause nucleation. This prope...
متن کاملNIST Calibration of a Neutron Spectrometer ROSPEC
A neutron spectrometer was acquired for use in the measurement of National Institute of Standards and Technology neutron fields. The spectrometer included options for the measurement of low and high energy neutrons, for a total measurement range from 0.01 eV up to 17 MeV. The spectrometer was evaluated in calibration fields and was used to determine the neutron spectrum of an Americium-Berylliu...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Neutron POD Spectrometer
Los Alamos National Laboratory has a long history of research, development, test and evaluation, implementation, and installation of radiation detection equipment. The Nuclear Nonproliferation Division has done so in support of domestic and international safeguards, emergency response, nondestructive analysis, and criticality safety. One of the systems that we have developed and deployed for us...
متن کاملExperiments with a Slow Neutron Velocity Spectrometer
Neutron bursts were produced by modulation of the arc source of a small cyclotron. Neutrons subsequently slowed down in paraffin were detected by a BF3ionization chamber and linear amplifier. Modulation of an additional amplifier allowed the counting of all detected. neutrons as well as those arriving in a specified time interval. Time of flight experiments were carried out at 3.0 meters with "...
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...
