Semiconductor detector for thermal neutrons
- 1. Centro de Estudios Aplicados al Desarrollo Nuclear, Cuba (Cuba)
Description
This work describes the fabrication technology of thermal neutrons detectors based on superficial barrier Silicon detectors with 6LiF converter, such as its parameters fundamental analysis. The measurement of the energetic resolution and intensity of counting is carried out with a fountain of neutrons of Am-Be with exit of 6,6.106 neutrons/seg, of a maximum energy of 10 MeV and average energy of 4,9 MeV. The thermal neutrons were obtained through the moderation in a layer of paraffin of 4 cm of thickness. (S. Grainger)
