TF NEUP 2011
Project Summary
We propose to develop a gaseous detector sensitive to fast (100 keV - 100 MeV) neutrons which may be used to monitor the neutron flux in nuclear reactors.
Path to work accomplishments
Deliverables and outcomes
1.) Neutron sensitive ionization chamber (no position readout)
Time Frame
Budget
Each year
2 grad students ($50k)
2 faculty summer months ($20k)
Beam time: electron experiment which produces isotropic neutrons. Compare neutron rates seen by several know detectors to the rate from the THGEM based detector.
