Effect of high energy neutrons on a microchannel plate detector
Description
The response of a chevron microchannel plate (MCP) to high energy neutrons was measured to be 0.17% for 2.5 MeV-DD neutrons and 0.64% for 15 MeV-DT neutrons. The higher response measured for the 14 MeV-DT neutrons is attributed to background gamma radiation or 'contamination' induced by neutron collisions with materials located between the neutron source and the MCP detector. Due to their lower energy, the 2.5 MeV-DD response measurements are expected to be relatively free of gamma contamination and hence, indicative of the actual response of a MCP detector to neutrons in the 1-10 MeV energy range
