Silicon Photo-Multiplier radiation hardness tests with a beam controlled neutron source
M. Angelone, M. Pillon, R. Faccini +7
We report radiation hardness tests performed at the Frascati Neutron Generator on silicon Photo-Multipliers, semiconductor photon detectors built from a square matrix of avalanche…
Neutron spectrometer for fast nuclear reactors
M. Osipenko, M. Ripani, G. Ricco +8
In this paper we describe the development and first tests of a neutron spectrometer designed for high flux environments, such as the ones found in fast nuclear reactors. The spectr…
Further investigations on the Neutron Flux Generation in a Plasma Discharge Electrolytic Cell
R. Faccini, A. Pilloni, A. D. Polosa +11
Our recent paper on the "Search for Neutron Flux Generation in a Plasma Discharge Electrolytic Cell" [1] has as main goal the validation of the experiment in Ref.[2]. As a follow-u…
Results of the first user program on the Homogenous Thermal Neutron Source HOTNES (ENEA / INFN)
A. Sperduti, M. Angelone, R. Bedogni +22
The HOmogeneous Thermal NEutron Source (HOTNES) is a new type of thermal neutron irradiation assembly developed by the ENEA-INFN collaboration. The facility is fully characterized…
Properties of para-terphenyl as detector for alpha, beta and gamma radiation
M. Angelone, G. Battistoni, F. Bellini +19
Organic scintillators are often chosen as radiation detectors for their fast decay time and their low Z, while inorganic ones are used when high light ields are required. In this p…
