TWO NEW SEMICONDUCTOR DETECTORS FOR FAST NEUTRONS

Journal Article · · Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication
OSTI ID:4793328
Two silicon surface-barrier detectors, a proton-recoil counter and a He/ sup 3/ counter, for raeasuring charged particles may be adapted for measuring fast-neutron fluxes. The detectors are so compact that they raay be mounted close to a target or sample without modifying neutron flux. The gamma sensitivty of these counters is small and the excellent linearity of response allows the output spectrum to be calibrated and analyzed with ease. The method for detecting the neutrons and the efficiency of the detectors are discussed. (N.W.R.)
