用于Nuclear Reactor保障和监测的紧凑型中微子探测器设计的性能比较

A Comparison of the Performance of Compact Neutrino Detector Designs for Nuclear Reactor Safeguards and Monitoring

R. W. McKeown, D. E. Reyna

摘要:

通过探测运行过程中产生的反中微子来监测动力反应堆的核燃料已经引起越来越多的关注。小型液体闪烁体探测器已经证明了对操作功率水平的灵敏度,但是更灵敏的监测需要改进这些探测器的效率和均匀性。在这项工作中,我们使用蒙特卡洛模拟研究四种不同的探测器配置的探测器性能。通过对中子探测效率和正电子能量响应的分析,我们发现最佳探测器的设计将取决于具体安装或应用的目标和限制。我们试图提出相关的信息,使未来的探测器的发展可以在一个有利可图的方向进行。

英文摘要:

There has been an increasing interest in the monitoring of nuclear fuel for power reactors by detecting the anti-neutrinos produced during operation. Small liquid scintillator detectors have already demonstrated sensitivity to operational power levels, but more sensitive monitoring requires improvements in the efficiency and uniformity of these detectors. In this work, we use a montecarlo simulation to investigate the detector performance of four different detector configurations. Based on the analysis of neutron detection efficiency and positron energy response, we find that the optimal detector design will depend on the goals and restrictions of the specific installation or application. We have attempted to present the relevant information so that future detector development can proceed in a profitable direction.
