摘要

A multilayer surface detector for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) is described. The top ~(10)B layer is exposed to vacuum and directly captures UCNs. The ZnS:Ag layer beneath the ~(10)B layer is a few microns thick, which is sufficient to detect the charged particles from the ~(10)B(n,α)~7Li neutron-capture reaction, while thin enough that ample light due to a and ~7Li escapes for detection by photomultiplier tubes. A 100-nm thick ~(10)B layer gives high UCN detection efficiency, as determined by the mean UCN kinetic energy, detector materials, and other parameters. Low background, including negligible sensitivity to ambient neutrons, has also been verified through pulse-shape analysis and comparison with other existing ~3He and ~(10)B detectors. This type of detector has been configured in different ways for UCN flux monitoring, development of UCN guides and neutron lifetime research.
