Description
The thermal response of an MgB2 detector was examined by using the irradiation of a 20 ps pulse laser with the aid of ultra low-noise cryogenic preamplifier. High-quality MgB2 thin films were prepared by a sputtering technique. This device can be used as a novel neutron detector by employing the 10B(n,α)7Li nuclear reaction with a local energy release of 2.3 MeV. This would be able to count individual neutrons with a repetition rate much faster than 106 per second
