Calculated Behavior of a Fast Neutron Spectrometer Based on the Total Absorption Principle
- National Bureau of Standards, Washington, DC (United States)
Performance calculations for a total absorption fast neutron spectrometer are presented. The spectrometer detecting element is a boron-10-loaded liquid scintillator. By making the scintillator a thin disk, only those neutrons whose first collision is a large-energy-loss hydrogen collision have appreciable chance of remaining in the spectrometer long enough to be captured the expected energy resolution and efficiency of this type of spectrometer are determined, and are comparable to other types of fast neutron spectrometers.
