A gaseous scintillation counter filled with He3 for neutron spectrometry
Creators
Description
The paper describes a gas plant and gaseous scintillation counter, and gives the results of experiments on the recording and spectrometry of neutron beams using a gaseous scintillation counter filled with a mixture of 10% xenene and 90% helium-3 at an overall pressure of 20 ata. Data are given on the design of the gas plant, which makes it possible to operate the counter continuously over long periods of time, as well as providing the required gas mixtures at overall pressures of up to 60 atm and ensuring constant freedom of the gas from contamination. In addition, the paper presents the results of research on the counter's energy resolution and linearity at different energy levels and indicates its efficiency in gamma fields of intensity up to 3 r/h; the possibility of extending the working energy-range of gaseous scintillation counters filled with helium-3 is also considered.

Abstract (French)
FLes auteurs decrivent un compteur a scintillateur gazeux ainsi que les resultats des experiences d'enregistrement et de spectrometrie des flux de neutrons qui ont ete faites au moyen d'un compteur a scintillateur gazeux rempli d'un melange de 10% de xenon et de 90% d'helium-3 sous une pression de 20 atmospheres. Ils exposent les donnees relatives a la construction d'un appareillage qui assure le fonctionnement ininterrompu du compteur durant un laps de temps prolonge, l'obtention des melanges de gaz indispensables sous une pression totale de 60 atmospheres et l'epuration continue du gaz. En outre, ils examinent les resultats de l'etude du pouvoir de resolution en energie et de la linearite du compteur en fonction de l'energie, le fonctionnement du compteur dans les champs de rayonnement gamma d'une intensite allant jusqu'a 3 r/h, ainsi que la possibilite d'elargir la gamme d'energie dans laquelle on peut employer des compteurs a scintillateurs gazeux de 3He.

En esta memoria se describe un aparato de suministro de gas y un contador de centelleador gaseoso, y se exponen los resultados de experimentos sobre el registro y la espectrometria de flujos neutronicos realizados mediante ese contador cargado con una mezcla de-10 por ciento de xenon y 9 por ciento de helio-3 a una presion de 20 atm. abs. Se proporcionan datos sobre la construccion del aparato de suministro que asegura el funcionamiento ininterrumpido del contador durante largo tiempo, proporciona las mezclas de gases necesarias a una presion de 60 atmosferas y permite proceder a una purificacion continua del gas. Se examinan, ademas, los resultados del estudio del poder de resolucion energetica y la linealidad del contador en funcion de la energia, su rendimiento con intensidades en campos gamma de hasta 3 roentgens/h, y algunas cuestiones relacionadas con la posibilidad de ampliar el intervalo energetico en el que pueden aplicarse los contadores de centelleador gaseoso cargados con helio-3.

V doklade opisyvaetsya gazovyj agregat, gazovyj stsintillyatsionnyj schetchik, a takzhe rezul'taty ehksperimentov po registratsii i spektrometrii potokov nejtronov pri pomoshchi gazovogo stsintillyatsionnogo schetchika, napolnennogo smes'yu 10% ksenona i 90% geliya-3, pri obshchem davlenii 20 ata. Privodyatsya dannye ob ustrojstve gazovogo agregata, obespechivayushchego nepreryvnuyu rabotu schetchika v techenie dlitel'nogo vremeni, poluchenie neobkhodimykh smesej gazov s obshchim davleniem do 60 atm, i postoyannuyu ochistku gaza ot zagryaznenij. Krome togo v doklade obsuzhdayutsya rezul'taty issledovaniya ehnergeticheskogo razresheniya i linejnosti schetchika po ehnergii, ego rabotosposobnost' v gamma-polyakh moshchnost'yu do 3 r/chas, a takzhe voprosy, svyazannye s vozmozhnost'yu rasshireniya ehnergeticheskogo diapazona raboty gazovykh stsintillyatsionnykh schetchikov, napolnennykh geliem-3.
