NEUTRON DETECTOR HAVING ENHANCED ABSORPTION AND BIFURCATED DETECTION ELEMENTS |
摘要 |
<p>A neutron detection system includes a neutron scintillator having a thickness greater than an optimal thickness and less than twice the optimal thickness. The system includes a first layer of wavelength shifting fiber optic elements positioned on a first side of the neutron scintillator. Adjacent fibers of the first layer pass light to distinct photo-multiplication devices. The system further includes a second layer of wavelength shifting fiber optic elements positioned on a second side of the neutron scintillator. Adjacent fibers of the second layer pass light to distinct photo-multiplication devices. The two layers may share photo-multiplication devices or use different sets of photo-multiplication devices. The system includes a controller that distinguishes a neutron radiation event from a gamma radiation event in response to electronic signals from the distinct photo-multiplication devices.</p> |
