论文摘要
E_LIBANS项目旨在为不同的跨学科应用程序创建基于加速器的紧凑型中子设施。在基于医疗电子利纳克的热中子源的成功设置和表征之后,已经开发了类似的表皮中子组件。该项目基于Elekta 18 MV Linac与光电逆变器调制器系统结合,该系统部署了(γ,N)光核反应,以将Bremsstrahlung光子束转换为中子场。这种交流描述了新型诊断的发展,以鉴定已产生的热和表现中子场。特别是,提出了用于使用碳化硅光电二极管作为热中子速率检测器的概念证明。
The e_LiBANS project aims at creating accelerator based compact neutron facilities for diverse interdisciplinary applications. After the successful setting up and characterization of a thermal neutron source based on a medical electron LINAC, a similar assembly for epithermal neutrons has been developed. The project is based on an Elekta 18 MV LINAC coupled with a photoconverter-moderator system which deploys the (γ,n) photonuclear reaction to convert a bremsstrahlung photon beam into a neutron field. This communication describes the development of novel diagnostics to qualify the thermal and epithermal neutron fields that have been produced. In particular, a proof of concept for the use of silicon carbide photodiodes as a thermal neutron rate detector is presented.
