Motivation

GOAL: to measure neutron emission probabilities and energies for neutron rich isotopes with relevance to basic nuclear physics and nuclear technology:-Low production: 4 detector-High production: TOF spectrometer (in combination with a gamma ray setup)

Activities

Monte Carlo simulations of the 2 types TOF array (GEANT4) and the 4 detector (MCNPX) for the design of the prototypes/setups.

Hardware acquired for the prototyping phase

3 x BF3 counters3 x 3He counters1 m3 of polyethylene1 x BC501A (NE213) scintillator from St. Gobain with low background housing (5” x 5”)1 additional module from Scionix under discussion (P. Schotanus)Computer driven CAEN HV Crate2 HV cards with 10 channels each

Test measurements in the next few months

-Preparation of a test bench at CIEMAT. Calibration with -ray sources.-Calibration of the BC501A module with a D/T source in Grenoble. Validation of the simulation tools.-Monitoring of a D/D and D/T source in Minsk (YALINA experiment)-Test of digital electronics (question to DAQ) for n/ discrimination

Neutron source

(I) TOF Neutron Spectrometer (NE213)(I) TOF Neutron Spectrometer (NE213)

(II) Position Sensitive TOF Neutron Spectrometer (NE213)(II) Position Sensitive TOF Neutron Spectrometer (NE213)

Possible 2nd layer of

detectors for enhancing the

efficiency

First results on the TOF neutron spectrometer

The Monte Carlo simulation tools have been setup up. A realistic geometry of the detectors has been modelled for the GEANT4 code.The efficiencies and energy resolutions of the two setups are in agreement with the initial estimates. As expected, they depend on the energy thresholds.

Next steps

-Inclusion of the light quenching effect: L(Z,Edep)-Inclusion of the position sensitivity resolution and flight path reconstruction. -Careful analysis of the effect of the cross talk.-Influence of the implantation setup.

In this work we have studied the neutron detection efficiency for a neutron detector based on a set of BF3 and 3He proportional counters, by means of Monte Carlo simulations with MCNPX.

The neutron energy ranges from 0.1 eV to 10 MeV.

First results on the 4 detector

The first Monte Carlo simulation of the 4 detector has been completed. The efficiency of the detectors is compatible (according to the information available) to the available about NERO.

Next steps

-Refinement of the “tallies” (MCNPX output) and calculation of the efficiency.+-Validation of the Monte Carlo results with experimental data.-Effect of the implantation setup.-Investigation of alternative geometries + algorithms for a “possible” energy reconstruction (deconvolution)
