Application of the VMM3a/SRS: A t0-less TWIN GEM-based TPC
K. J. Flöthner, F. Garcia, B. Oberhauser +17
Integrating the ATLAS/BNL VMM3a ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into the RD51/SRS (Scalable Readout System) provides a self-triggered continuous readout system for v…
Time- and energy-resolved effects in the boron-10 based Multi-Grid and helium-3 based thermal neutron detectors
A. Backis, A. Khaplanov, R. Al Jebali +33
The boron-10 based Multi-Grid detector is being developed as an alternative to helium-3 based neutron detectors. At the European Spallation Source, the detector will be used for ti…
A simulational study of the indirect geometry neutron spectrometer, BIFROST at the European Spallation Source, from neutron source position to detector position
M. Klausz, K. Kanaki, T. Kittelmann +5
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is intended to become the most powerful spallation neutron source in the world and the flagship of neutron science in the upcoming decades. The…
Experimental study of concrete activation compared to MCNP simulations for safety of neutron sources
D. Hajdú, E. Dian, K. Gméling +4
The neutron activation of shielding materials and the generated decay gamma radiation are well-known issues in terms of occupational exposure. Though the trace elements of shieldin…
Suppression of intrinsic neutron background in the Multi-Grid detector
E. Dian, K. Kanaki, A. Khaplanov +3
One of the key requirements for neutron scattering instruments is the Signal-to-Background ratio (SBR). This is as well a design driving requirement for many instruments at the Eur…
