INSPECTION AND ANALYSIS DEVICE USING NEUTRON GENERATING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-sized simple inspection and analysis device using neutrons.

SOLUTION: This inspection and analysis device uses a neutron generating device characterized in having a neutron source which generates high-speed neutrons by using a nuclear fusion reaction, a neutron decelerating material which generates cold/heat neutrons by decelerating the neutrons generated from the neutron source, and a neutron reflecting device which reflects the cold/heat neutrons. This device also has a neutron guide pipe which guides the cold/heat neutrons from the neutron reflecting device, a neutron wavelength selecting device which selects a specific wavelength of the cold/heat neutrons, and a two-dimensional neutron detector which projects the neutrons having the selected specific wavelength upon a sample or material and detects neutrons transmitted through or scattered or reflected by the sample or material.
