Analytical modeling of thin film neutron converters and its application to thermal neutron gas detectors
Francesco Piscitelli, Patrick Van Esch
A simple model is explored mainly analytically to calculate and understand the PHS of single and multi-layer thermal neutron detectors and to help optimize the design in different…
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…
Multiple hits in wire chambers and other particle detectors
Patrick Van Esch
We propose an analysis of the dead time losses in counting imaging detectors such as MWPC which can resolve simultaneous hits, and analyze in more detail an detector whic…
Effects of ion drift on time-over-threshold charge estimates using first-order integrators in thermal neutron MWPC
Patrick Van Esch, Thomas Durand
Time-over-threshold measurements of the output of a first order integration amplifier can be used as a cheap way to estimate the charge deposited on a wire in an MWPC. Even if the…
An Electrostatic Lens to Reduce Parallax in Banana Gas Detectors
Patrick Van Esch, Jean-Francois Clergeau, Kadda Medjoubi
Cylindrical "banana" gas detectors are often used in fixed-target experiments, because they are free of parallax effects in the equatorial plane. However, there is a growing demand…
An Optimal Lookup Table Construction for Charge Division with respect to Efficiency Flatness
Patrick Van Esch, Frederic Millier
Static lookup tables as often used in the position calculation electronics in position sensitive detectors suffer from the well known problem that the propagation of digitization e…
