Description

The purpose of the neutron facility installed at SARA is to investigate the behaviour of various materials to be used in the ATLAS em calorimeter and the pollution of the cryostat liquid, under fast neutron radiation. So far, pieces of FR4, G10, prepreg adhesive and some epoxy have been irradiated and the charge signal of a α-cell immersed in the liquid argon has been measured before and after irradiation. Preliminary results concerning pollution are presented. (orig.)
