Detector efficiency measurements using a Cf-252 source.
Cf-252 source description
ID:
Neutron fluence:
HpGe distribution
I made a page discussing neutron damage to the HPGe detector as a function of the total amount of fast neutrons per cm^2 irradiated on the detector face. 5*10^6 n/cm^2 is a factor of 10 below the point where damage was first observed in an experiment.
Runlist
12/29/16
No poly was used to shield the HPGe detector.
| Run # | RunTime [sec] | distance[cm] | n flux (Cf252 rates) |
Integral n flux |
configuration | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5609 | 4060 | 30 | 6850 | 6850 | Cf252 in. Coincidence between HPGe and timing PMT | A ToF spectrum exists but is very hectic. Problem may be that the TDC stop is determined by a widened timing PMT pulse in coinc. with a HPGe pulse that has high timing jitter. |
| none | 1250 | 26 | 2800 | 9655 | Not taking data during this time. | |
| 5611 | 2509 | 30 | 4230 | 13885 | Cf252 in. Coincidence between HPGe and timing PMT. TDC stop was changed to always be 1200 ns after PMT timing pulse, otherwise same setup as 5609. | ToF looks good. Neutron rate approx. 3 Hz for detector 90. |
| 5613 | 10025 | 15 | 0 | 13885 | Na-22 source. Coincidence between HPGe and timing PMT | Calibration |
| 5614 | 654 | 15 | 0 | 13885 | Co-60 source. Coincidence between HPGe and timing PMT | Calibration |
