Effect of substrate roughness and material selection on the microstructure of sputtering deposited boron carbide thin films

Chung-Chuan Lai, Robert Boyd, Per-Olof Svensson +4

Amorphous boron carbide (B4C) thin films are by far the most popular form for the neutron converting layers in the 10B-based neutron detectors, which are a rising trend in detector…

Statistical position reconstruction for RPC-based thermal neutron detectors

A. Morozov, L. M. S. Margato, V. Solovov +8

Multilayer position-sensitive 10B-RPC thermal neutron detectors offer an attractive combination of sub-millimeter spatial resolution and high (>50%) detection efficiency. Here we d…
