Description

For an accelerator-based BNCT, we have fabricated a new detector consisting of quartz optical fibers that have excellent radiation-resistant characteristics. The developed detectors were irradiated at Kyoto University Research Reactor. The experimental results showed that the new detector had good output linearity for the neutron intensity, and the response of the new detector did not decrease during the irradiation. The new detector consisting of quartz optical fibers can be applied to measurement of neutron field of an accelerator-based BNCT
