Experimental results on RPC neutron sensitivity
Creators
Description
RPC neutron sensitivity has been studied during two tests done with different neutrons energies. In the first test, neutrons from spontaneous fission events of 252Cf were used (average energy 2 MeV); while in the second test neutrons were produced using a 50 MeV deuteron beam on a 1 cm thick beryllium target (average energy 20 MeV). Preliminary results show that the neutron sensitivity in double gap mode is (0.52±0.03)x10-3 at about 2 MeV and (5.3±0.5)x10-3 at about 20 MeV
