Double-GEM based thermal neutron detector prototype
L. A. Serra Filho, R. Felix dos Santos, G. G. A. de Souza +11
The Helium-3 shortage and the growing interest in neutron science constitute a driving factor in developing new neutron detection technologies. In this work, we report the developm…
Towards high-rate RPC-based thermal neutron detectors using low-resistivity electrodes
L. M. S. Margato, A. Morozov, A. Blanco +12
We present experimental results on the counting rate measurements for several single-gap B lined resistive plate chambers (B-RPCs) with anodes made from standard floa…
Multi-Grid Detector for Neutron Spectroscopy: Results Obtained on Time-of-Flight Spectrometer CNCS
M. Anastasopoulos, R. Bebb, K. Berry +23
The Multi-Grid detector technology has evolved from the proof-of-principle and characterisation stages. Here we report on the performance of the Multi-Grid detector, the MG.CNCS pr…
First Measurements with New High-Resolution Gadolinium-GEM Neutron Detectors
Dorothea Pfeiffer, Filippo Resnati, Jens Birch +12
European Spallation Source instruments like the macromolecular diffractometer, NMX, require an excellent neutron detection efficiency, high-rate capabilities, time resolution, and…
Investigation of background in large-area neutron detectors due to alpha emission from impurities in aluminium
J. Birch, J. -C. Buffet, J. -F. Clergeau +9
Thermal neutron detector based on films of BC have been developed as an alternative to He detectors. In particular, The Multi-Grid detector concept is considered for…
The uTPC Method: Improving the Position Resolution of Neutron Detectors Based on MPGDs
Dorothea Pfeiffer, Filippo Resnati, Jens Birch +8
Due to the Helium-3 crisis, alternatives to the standard neutron detection techniques are becoming urgent. In addition, the instruments of the European Spallation Source (ESS) requ…
Neutron Position Sensitive Detectors for the ESS
Oliver Kirstein, Richard Hall-Wilton, Irina Stefanescu +17
The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden will become the world's leading neutron source for the study of materials. The instruments are being selected from conceptual p…
Multi-Grid Boron-10 detector for large area applications in neutron scattering science
Ken Andersen, Thierry Bigault, Jens Birch +12
The present supply of 3He can no longer meet the detector demands of the upcoming ESS facility and continued detector upgrades at current neutron sources. Therefore viable alternat…
