Charge Transfer Properties Through Graphene for Applications in Gaseous Detectors
S. Franchino, D. Gonzalez-Diaz, R. Hall-Wilton +13
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice with remarkable mechanical and electrical properties. Regarded as the thinnest and narrowest conductive m…
Effects of High Charge Densities in Multi-GEM Detectors
S. Franchino, D. Gonzalez Diaz, R. Hall-Wilton +9
A comprehensive study, supported by systematic measurements and numerical computations, of the intrinsic limits of multi-GEM detectors when exposed to very high particle fluxes or…
Neutron reflectometry on highly absorbing films and its application to 10B4C-based neutron detectors
F. Piscitelli, A. Khaplanov, A. Devishvili +7
Neutron reflectometry is a powerful tool used for studies of surfaces and interfaces. In general the absorption in the typical studied materials can be neglected and this technique…
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…
The opportunity offered by the ESSnuSB project to exploit the larger leptonic CP violation signal at the second oscillation maximum and the requirements of this project on the ESS accelerator complex
Elena Wildner, Michel Martini, Horst Schonauer +5
Very intense neutrino beams and large neutrino detectors will be needed to enable the discovery of CP violation in the leptonic sector. The European Spallation Source (ESS), curren…
Using Back-Scattering to Enhance Efficiency in Neutron Detectors
Thomas Kittelmann, Esben Klinkby, Xiao Xiao Cai +3
The principle of using strongly scattering materials to recover efficiency in neutron detectors, via back-scattering of unconverted thermal neutrons, is discussed in general. Feasi…
Hardware Aspects, Modularity and Integration of an Event Mode Data Acquisition and Instrument Control for the European Spallation Source (ESS)
Thomas Gahl, Mark Hagen, Richard Hall-Wilton +7
The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden is just entering the construction phase with 3 neutron instruments having started in its design concept phase in 2014. As a col…
