Neutron energy spectrum measurements with a compact liquid scintillation detector on EAST

Scintillation Neutron Detector on the Basis of Boron-containing Plastics

This reaction is endothermic, its threshold is 6.63 МeV, and the cross-section is 4·10 сm. Li nucleus with Т1/2=0.847 s is transformed into two α-particles of 1.5 МeV energy each, and one β-частицу of energy 13 МeV. The light yield in a plastic scintillator due to capture of thermal neutrons from α-particles and Li nuclei is equivalent to the yield from γ-quanta or electrons of energies from 65...

High resolution neutron spectrometry with liquid scintillation detectors

Low energy neutrino astronomy with the large liquid scintillation detector LENA

The detection of low energy neutrinos in a large scintillation detector may provide further important information on astrophysical processes as supernova physics, solar physics and elementary particle physics as well as geophysics. In this contribution, a new project for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) consisting of a 50 kt scintillation detector is presented. ∗Corresponding authors. Fax: ...

Semiconductor high-energy radiation scintillation detector

We propose a new scintillation-type detector in which high-energy radiation generates electron–hole pairs in a direct-gap semiconductor material that subsequently recombine producing infrared light to be registered by a photo-detector. The key issue is how to make the semiconductor essentially transparent to its own infrared light, so that photons generated deep inside the semiconductor could r...

Scintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector

The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...
