Characterization and Comparison of New-Generation Silicon Photomultipliers

摘要

In today's world of potential nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation, the effective detection of weapons-capable materials such as plutonium and uranium is an issue of utmost importance. The detection of these special nuclear materials requires efficient detection of neutrons Traditionally, He gas detectors have been used to detect fast neutrons characteristic of special nuclear materials, but a shortage of He availability has created a push for alternative, efficient, and low-cost neutron detectors.
