Novel concept for neutron detection: proportional counter filled with 10B nanoparticle aerosol
The high neutron detection efficiency, good gamma-ray discrimination and non-toxicity of 3He made of proportional counters filled with this gas the obvious choice for neutron detection, particularly in radiation portal monitors (RPM), used to control the illicit transport of nuclear material, of which neutron detectors are key components. 3He is very rare and during the last decade this gas has...
متن کاملModelling moderated proportional neutron counters using the Geant4 toolkit and the application to detection of fast neutron burst
The modelling with the Geant4 toolkit of moderated 3He-filled proportional neutron counters is studied. The energy deposition spectra by the neutron capture products in the gas counter is compared with experimental results. On the other hand, efficiency calculation for polyethylene moderated proportional counters are compared with experimental and MCNPX results.Finally, the application of the G...
متن کاملGas Scintillation Proportional Counters for High-Energy X-ray Astronomy
A focal plane array of high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters (GSPC) for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These detectors each have an active area of ~ 20 cm, and are filled with a high pressure (10 Pa) xenon-helium mixture. Imaging is via crossed-grid position-sensitive phototubes sensitive in the UV region. The perfo...
متن کاملB-Lined Proportional Counters to Traditional Neutron Counting Applications in International Safeguards
Many neutron-detection techniques are under consideration as potential replacements for 3 He gas-filled proportional tubes, which are widely used in international nuclear safeguards applications. The traditional 10 B-lined proportional tube is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology for neutron detection that predates the development of 3 He detectors. There is also a long history of its u...
متن کاملGas Gain in Air-mixed Argon-Propane (1%)-based Proportional Counters
For the design of a special gas-flow proportional counter intended for a new on-line measurement method of airborne radon (Rn) concentration, the amplification properties of four gas compositions were investigated in air-mixed Argon-propane (1%)-based proportional counters. These four gas compositions are: Ar-C3H8 (1%); Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 2% air; Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 6% air and Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 10% air. Th...
