چکیده مقاله:

Background: In high-intensity, mixed and pulsed neutron fields the use of spectrometers or area monitors with active detectors is useless in these conditions neutron measuring devices must have a passive detector. Here a passive neutron area monitor with CR39 track detector was designed and the response was calculated. Materials and Methods: The response of a passive neutron area monitor with CR39 track detector has been calculated with the MCNPX code. To increase the detection efficiency a 10B converter was included. The response was calculated using 47 monoenergetic neutron sources. Results: A passive neutron area monitor using a CR39 with 10B converter was designed where fluence and H*(10) responses were calculated. Conclusion: The shape of the responses is similar to responses reported for neutron monitors with active detectors.

Neutron Monitor Response Functions

The neutron monitor provides continuous ground-based recording of the hadronic component in atmospheric secondary radiation which is related to primary cosmic rays. Simpson (1948) discovered that the latitude variation of the secondary hadronic component was considerably larger than the muon component suggesting the response of a neutron monitor is more sensitive to lower energies in the primar...

Latitude survey observations of neutron monitor multiplicity

[1] We have recently augmented the electronics for our neutron monitor (NM) latitude survey so as to record the elapsed time (dT) between detected neutrons in each proportional tube, in order to examine time correlations in the data as a function of cutoff rigidity and primary spectrum. We quantify the dependence of counting rate on dead time, with particular focus on the longer dead times that...

Validation of neutron emission profiles in MAST with a collimated neutron monitor.

A neutron camera with liquid scintillator detectors is used in MAST to measure the neutron emissivity from D(d,n)(3)He reactions along collimated lines of sight. In this work, the measured recoil proton pulse height spectra generated in the detectors by the incident neutrons is modelled taking into account the energy spectrum of the generated neutrons, their spatial distribution and transport t...

DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF ko FOR MONITOR NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS

This paper inlroduces the thermal column or the cold neutron guide beam of the 20 MW NBSR at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a direct k o measurement facility. Measurement of k o at this facility not only produces accurate values, but avoids the additional correction factors needed in other measurement methods. The ko of Sb, Ag and Cr with respect to Sc as monitor have bee...

Forbush decreases – clouds relation in the neutron monitor era

The proposed influence of cosmic rays on cloud formation is tested for the effect of sudden intensity changes of CR (Forbush decreases) on cloudiness. An attempt is made to widen the investigated period covered by satellite observation of cloudiness. As an indicator of cloud cover, the diurnal temperature range (DTR a quantity anticorrelated with cloudiness) is used. The superposed epoch analys...
