A versatile high-temperature furnace for neutron four-circle diffractometers
2014 The design and performance of a versatile closed, light (0,9 kg), high temperature furnace adapted to the needs of a neutron four-circle diffractometer is reported. It operates between 330 and 1 200 K with a long term stability of better than 0.05 K. There are few restrictions on the movement of the circles; only the 03A6-range is limited to 200°. The furnace operates under high vacuum (ty...
متن کاملNeutron guide shielding for the BIFROST spectrometer at ESS
We report on the study of fast-neutron background for the BIFROST spectrometer at ESS. We investigate the effect of background radiation induced by the interaction of fast neutrons from the source with the material of the neutron guide and devise a reasonable fast, thermal/cold neutron shielding solution for the current guide geometry using McStas and MCNPX. We investigate the effectiveness of ...
متن کاملNeutron 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...
متن کاملThe Multi-Blade Boron-10-based neutron detector for high intensity neutron reflectometry at ESS
The Multi-Blade is a Boron-10-based gaseous detector introduced to face the challenge arising in neutron reflectometry at pulsed neutron sources. Neutron reflectometers are the most challenging instruments in terms of instantaneous counting rate and spatial resolution. This detector has been designed to cope with the requirements set for the reflectometers at the upcoming European Spallation So...
متن کاملSilicon 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...
