A Position-Sensitive Ionization Chamber for Thermal Neutrons
A position-sensitive neutron detector based on He is being developed for a national crystal backscattering spectrometer (CBS) at a pulsed neutron source. It comprises a single gas volume, of constant depth, in the form of an annulus that is also part of a truncated cone. Charge from each event is collected on one or two anode strips, out of a total 336 around the annulus, yielding an angular re...
متن کاملDesign and simulation of a highly sensitive photonic crystal temperature sensor based on a cavity filled with the distilled water
In this paper design and two dimensional (2D) simulation of a photonic crystal highly sensitive temperature sensor is presented. The 2D simulations are based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and are done using Rsoft software. The device is constructed using a cavity filled with the distilled water located in the center of the photonic crystal waveguide. The operation of the propos...
متن کاملEvaluation of dosimetry a performance parameter for a homemade farmer-type ionization chamber according to IEC60731
Introduction: Due to its simplicity, fast response and high reliability, ion chamber detectors are one of the most suitable dosimetry instruments for X and gamma rays. The dosimeter of photon beams, which used in radiotherapy centers, requires high accuracy and should pass requirements of IEC 60731 standards. About 80 percent of the IEC 60731 standard tests such as stabil...
متن کاملMeasurement of Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60 Gamma Radiation With a Pressure Ionization Chamber
The characteristics of the pressure ionization chamber at t he National Bureau of Standards have been studied for the gamma radiation from a cesium-137 sou rce (0.6614 Mev) and from a cobalt-60 source (1.1715 and 1.3316 Mev). The dosage rates produced in air by these sources were measured with this chamber with an accuracy of about 2 percent. Dosage rates obtained with an extrapolation chamber ...
متن کاملNovel 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...
