A large area plastic scintillator detector array for fast neutron measurements
A large area plastic scintillator detector array(∼ 1×1 m) has been set up for fast neutron spectroscopy at the BARC-TIFR Pelletron laboratory, Mumbai. The energy, time and position response has been measured for electrons using radioactive sources and for mono-energetic neutrons using the 7Li(p,n1) Be*(0.429 MeV) reaction at proton energies between 6.3 and 19 MeV. A Monte Carlo simulation of th...
متن کاملScintillation 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...
متن کاملLower bounds on scintillation detector timing performance
Fundamental method-independent linuts on the timing performance of scintillation detectors are useful for identifying regimes in which either present timing methods are nearly optimal or where a considerable performance gain might be realized using better pulse processing techniques . Several types of lower bounds on mean-squared timing error (MSE) performance have been developed and applied to...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملPerformance of a Large Area Avalanche Photodiode in a Liquid Xenon Ionization and Scintillation Chamber
Scintillation light produced in liquid xenon (LXe) by alpha particles, electrons and gamma-rays was detected with a large area avalanche photodiode (LAAPD) immersed in the liquid. The alpha scintillation yield was measured as a function of applied electric field. We estimate the quantum efficiency of the LAAPD to be 45%. The best energy resolution from the light measurement at zero electric fie...
