Device for detecting simultaneously and selectively neutrons and x or gamma rays

Creators

Description

The photomultiplier has two scintillators, one sensitive to neutrons and the other to X-rays or gamma rays. Photons produced by doped glass scintillator sensitive to the neutrons are guided towards a photomultiplier and are attenuated. The attenuator is chosen in such a way that the scintillations produced by the neutrons are in an energy band distinct from those produced by X or gamma rays and also above the base noise of the photomultiplier. 2 figs
