Development of neutron Anger-camera detector based on flatpanel PMT

A neutron scintillating detector and its data taking system have been developed for neutron scattering measurement. A 64-channel flatpanel photomultiplier is used for the Anger-camera method. The detection efficiency of γ-ray background is very low in the use of the ZnS/ 6LiF scintillator. The spati...

Description
Summary:A neutron scintillating detector and its data taking system have been developed for neutron scattering measurement. A 64-channel flatpanel photomultiplier is used for the Anger-camera method. The detection efficiency of γ-ray background is very low in the use of the ZnS/ 6LiF scintillator. The spatial resolution is less than 1 mm. The effective area of this detector is around 25 cm 2, and it is easy to expand it to a larger area with small dead space using the multi-photomultiplier tubes system. The fast DAQ system has 10-bit 100 MHz flash ADCs, FPGA chips and USB2.0 device.
