DOI：: 10.1088/1748-0221/15/03/P03019

英文摘要：

A Monte Carlo simulation-based optimization of a multilayer 10B-RPC thermal neutron detector is performed targeting an increase in the counting rate capability while maintaining high (>50%) detection efficiency for thermal neutrons. The converter layer thicknesses of individual RPCs are optimized for several configurations of a detector containing a stack of 10 double gap RPCs. The results suggest that it is possible to reach a counting rate which is by a factor of eight higher in comparison to the rate of a detector with only one double-gap RPC. The effect of neutron scattering inside the detector contributing to the background is analyzed and design modifications of the first detector prototype, tested at neutron beam, are suggested.

Multilayer $^{10}B$-RPC neutron imaging detector

Resistive plate chambers (RPC) lined with $^{10}B_{4}$C neutron converters is a promising cost effective technology for position-sensitive thermal neutron detection capable to outperform $^{3}$He-based detectors in terms of spatial resolution and timing. However, as for the other types of gaseous detectors with a single layer of $^{10}B_{4}$C at normal beam incidence, the detection efficiency to thermal neutrons of a single-gap $^{10}B$-RPC is only about 6%. Aiming to overcome this limitation, we introduce a multi-layer $^{10}B$-RPCs detector with a stack of ten double-gap hybrid RPCs. A descr…

Boron-10 lined RPCs for sub-millimeter resolution thermal neutron detectors: Conceptual design and performance considerations

A novel concept for position-sensitive thermal neutron detectors based on thin-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) lined with a neutron converter layer is presented and its feasibility is discussed. Several detector architectures implementing a stack of RPCs in multilayer and inclined geometries are introduced. The results of a Monte Carlo simulation study are presented demonstrating the effect of the main detector design parameters on the expected detection efficiency and spatial resolution.

Boron-10 lined RPCs for sub-millimeter resolution thermal neutron detectors: Feasibility study in a thermal neutron beam

The results of an experimental feasibility study of a position sensitive thermal neutron detector based on a resistive plate chamber (RPC) are presented. The detector prototype features a thin-gap (0.35 mm) hybrid RPC with an aluminium cathode lined with a 2 $μ$m thick $^{10}B{_4}C$ neutron converter layer enriched in $^{10}B$ and a float glass anode. A detection efficiency of ${\approx}$ 6.2 ${\%}$ was measured for the neutron beam ($λ$ =2.5 $Å$) at normal incidence. A spatial resolution better than 0.5 mm FWHM was demonstrated.

Concept of a fast neutron detector based on 10B-RPCs

We propose an alternative approach for the detection of fast neutrons in the energy range from 10-4 to 5 MeV based on 10B-RPCs (hybrid double-gap Resistive Plate Chambers with 10B4C neutron converters) surrounded by a polyethylene moderator. The detection efficiency as a function of the neutron energy is obtained in Monte Carlo simulations performed with the Geant4 toolkit for several detector configurations. The thickness of the neutron converter is optimized for the maximum efficiency. The results show that for this type of detector it is possible to obtain an average detection efficiency la…

Towards high-rate RPC-based thermal neutron detectors using low-resistivity electrodes

We present experimental results on the counting rate measurements for several single-gap $^{10}$B lined resistive plate chambers ($^{10}$B-RPCs) with anodes made from standard float glass, low resistivity glass and ceramic. The measurements were performed at the V17 monochromatic neutron beamline (3.35 Ȧ) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. For the $^{10}$B-RPCs with 0.28 mm thick float glass a maximum counting rate density of about $8\times 10^{3}$ $Hz/cm^{2}$ was obtained. In the case of low resistivity glass and ceramic, the counting rate density did not deviate from linear dependence on the n…

Statistical position reconstruction for RPC-based thermal neutron detectors

Multilayer position-sensitive 10B-RPC thermal neutron detectors offer an attractive combination of sub-millimeter spatial resolution and high (>50%) detection efficiency. Here we describe a new position reconstruction method based on a statistical approach. Using experimental data, we compare the performance of this method with that of the centroid reconstruction. Both methods result in a similar image linearity/uniformity and spatial resolution. However, the statistical method allows to improve the image quality at the detector periphery, offers more flexible event filtering and allows to dev…

Fe/Si多层膜的泰勒中子光学性能

Tayloring neutron optical performance of Fe/Si multilayers

来自晶体单色器的反射中子束包含高阶波长贡献。在现代中子光学中，创建具有包括单色偏振中子束的定制反射率曲线的多层反射镜结构是一个挑战。在这项工作中，我们提出了三种类型的磁控溅射非周期Fe/Si层结构的研究与高次谐波抑制的目的。首先，通过在溅射过程中仔细控制蒸发参数，直接获得近似正弦曲线的轮廓。其次，我们实现了层厚度的随机分布，其中样品的层结构来自于规定的模拟光谱。第三，准正弦圆形双层散射长度分布试图实现0，5，10，27和270 × 1 e15/cm 2的350 keV氖照射的能量密度从一个尖锐的双层分布。除了最高的能量密度，这大大降低了整体的双层对比度，我们发现的单色化的改善与增加的照射能量密度的降低高阶反射的总强度从11.1%到2.2%，而一阶布拉格峰的强度从80%下降到70%。偏振效率随Ne ~+辐照能量密度的增加而增加，从78.8%增加到90.7%。我们能够实现92%和82%的反射率的随机多层结构和正弦曲线轮廓样品与87.6%和97.1%的偏振效率，分别。
