用钆阴极GEM探测器探测中子
Neutron Detection using a Gadolinium-Cathode GEM Detector
摘要：
研制了一种以钆为阴极的气体电子倍增器（GEM）探测器，以探索其作为中子探测器的潜在应用。它由三个标准尺寸（$10\times 10$ cm ${}^{2}$）GEM箔和用作中子转换器的薄钆板组成。测量了两种不同的阴极设置和两种不同的漂移间隙的中子探测效率。韩国标准与科学研究院（KRISS）的热中子源被用来测量中子探测效率。根据KRISS测量的中子注量率，我们研制的钆GEM探测器的中子探测效率为$4.630 \pm 0.034(stat.) \pm 0.279(syst.) \%$。
英文摘要：
A gas electron multiplier (GEM) detector with a gadolinium cathode has been developed to explore its potential application as a neutron detector. It consists of three standard-sized ($10\times 10$ cm${}^{2}$) GEM foils and a thin gadolinium plate as the cathode, which is used as a neutron converter. The neutron detection efficiencies were measured for two different cathode setups and for two different drift gaps. The thermal neutron source at the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) was used to measure the neutron detection efficiency. Based on the neutron flux measured by KRISS, the neutron detection efficiency of our gadolinium GEM detector was $4.630 \pm 0.034(stat.) \pm 0.279(syst.) \%$.
