Description

The properties of solid state track detectors for neutron measurements in high gamma radiation fields are being investigated. The programme consists of: 1) Designing a neutron detector based on the tracks from recoil protons, (n,α) reactions or fission fragments. 2) Calculating the response of detectors to neutrons in the energy range 0-17 MeV. 3) Verification of the calculated response by measurements using mono-energetic neutrons. 4) Measuring the effect of a high gamma dose on the detector performance. 5) The application of automatic track counting techniques.
