A parallel plate 10B neutron detector

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (USA)

Description

Parallel plate ionization chambers with vacuum deposited 10B electrodes have been constructed and tested for 10B plating thicknesses from 24 μg/cm2 to 61 μg/cm2. Pulse-height resolutions of the alpha particle and of the 7Li fragment from the 10B (n, α) reaction were measured using low-energy neutrons. The pulse-height resolutions of the chambers were found to be better than a theoretical analysis had indicated. (orig.)
