Development of position-sensitive proton recoil telescope (PSPRT)

摘要

A position-sensitive proton recoil telescope (PSPRT) has been developed as a new-type neutron spectrometer to achieve high sensitivity and high energy resolution concurrently. The PSPRT consists of a radiator-detector and a proton detector, which employs a set of a position-sensitive photomultiplier (PS-PMT) and a scintillator. Neutron energy spectrum is derived by using only "good events" which are events for forward angles around 0degrees, and correcting for the proton energy loss in the radiator detector. The expected performance of PSPRT was proved experimentally. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. References: 8
