Particle detectors 1 28 . PARTICLE DETECTORS

Revised 2003 (see the various sections for authors). In this section we give various parameters for common detector components. The quoted numbers are usually based on typical devices, and should be regarded only as rough approximations for new designs. More detailed discussions of detectors and their underlying physics can be found in books by Ferbel [1], Grupen [2], Kleinknecht [3], Knoll [4]...

Neutron Detectors

Mechanisms for detecting neutrons in matter are based on indirect methods. Neutrons, as their name suggests, are neutral. Also, they do not interact directly with the electrons in matter, as gamma ray$ do. The process of neutron detection begins when neutrons, interacting with various nuclei, initiate the release of one or more charged particles. The electrical signrdsproduced by the charged pa...
