Neutron Dosimetry with Various Solid State Fission Track Detectors

Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors and Their Applications

I am happy to announce today that the Department’s proposal to set up a Dr Homi Bhabha National Institute has been approved. This will bring together ten premier institutions all over the country under a single research-driven framework. This will help ensure that our scientists and our scientific establishments remain at the forefront of the pursuit of excellence, comparable with the best glob...

Digital System to Characterize Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors

A digital system to characterize solid state nuclear track detectors(SSNTD) has been developed. It was used in the study of two detectors and its performance evaluated by comparing the obtained results with those determined by using an analog system, already in use for such purpose. The comparison of the results together with the feasibility and rapidness in data acquisition have demonstrated t...

Large Area Zero Bias Solid-state Neutron Detectors

Solid-state neutron detectors utilize latest advancement in semiconductors for development of efficient and economical neutron detectors. The recent shortage and price increase of He-3 resulted in more incentive to reach maturity of this technology and enable replacement of gas based neutron detectors. Solid state neutron detectors provide important advantages over current neutron detectors suc...

Towards high efficiency solid-state thermal and fast neutron detectors

Variety of applications of fast neutron detection utilize thermal neutron detectors and moderators. Examples include homeland security applications such as portal monitors and nuclear safeguards which employ passive systems for detection of fissile materials. These applications mostly rely on gas filled detectors such as 3He, BF3 or plastic scintillators and require high voltage for operation. ...
