Abstract

The invention discloses a novel fast neutron detector, belonging to the field of radiation detection. The fast neutron detector consists of a honeycomb plate, a circuit board, a Mylar film, a carbon film, electrode glass, a polyethylene film, an organic glass column, a nylon wire, a high-voltage conductive wire, and middle electrode glass. The response sensitiveness of MRPC to the fast neutron is improved by attaching the polyethylene film on the MRPC electrode glass. The detector improves the detection efficiency to the fast neutron on the premise of retained time resolution; furthermore, the detector has extremely high neutron Gama resolution capability. The detector can be used for neutron spectrum measurement, neutron imaging, pulse neutron strength diagnosis and the like.

Description

A kind of novel fast neutron detector
Technical field:
The invention belongs to the radiation detection field, particularly a kind of novel fast neutron detector.
Background technology:
Many air gaps resistance board chamber (MRPC) is a kind of novel gas detector.Because it has good time resolution performance, obtained in the high-energy physics experiment field using widely.U.S. Brookhaven National Laboratory adopts the MRPC technology to build flight time detector, and some other large-scale experiment device also prepares to adopt MRPC to build flight time detector.Because MRPC adopts sheet glass to do electrode, the mixed gas that adopts a certain proportion of F134a and isobutane is as working gas, all these materials are all insensitive to uncharged fast neutron, be the response sensitivity of Enhanced MR PC to fast neutron, to improve existing MRPC, to improve its response sensitivity fast neutron.
Summary of the invention:
The objective of the invention is the response sensitivity to fast neutron for Enhanced MR PC, provide a kind of novel fast neutron detector to improve its response sensitivity to fast neutron, it is characterized by, described novel fast neutron detector is by cellular board 1, circuit board 2, Mylar film 3, carbon film 4, electrode glass 5, polyethylene film 6, organic glass post 7, nylon wire 8, high-voltage conducting wires 9 and target glass 10 are formed, cellular board 1 sticks on the face of circuit board 2, it is bonding to be printed on another side and the Mylar film 3 of reading bar 11 on the circuit board 2, Mylar film 3 is pasted together with carbon film 4 again, electrode glass 5 sticks on the carbon film 4, the another side of top electrode glass 5 sticks layer of polyethylene film 6, be symmetrical on the top-bottom electrode structures, also have 3~5 blocks of target glass 10 up and down between the two cube electrode glass 5, paste layer of polyethylene film 6 on every block of target glass 10 face down, be that the nylon wire 8 of 0.2~0.3mm separates between electrode glass 5 and the target glass 10 and between the adjacent target glass 10 by diameter, be fixed with organic glass post 7 around the electrode glass, high-voltage conducting wires 9 is welded on the carbon film 4.
The thickness of described every layers of polyethylene film is 0.1~0.3mm.
Be printed on 5~8 on the described circuit board 2 and read bar 11.
Described detector operation gas is 95% F134a and 5% isobutane mixed gas.
Ultimate principle of the present invention is, electrode glass surface at MRPC adds the tygon thin layer, the secondary proton that neutron and its interaction produce enters in the working gas, make the working gas ionization of MRPC, electronics that ionization produces and ion are in snowslide amplification and induce electric charge at collector in gas when the two poles of the earth drift abouts under the highfield effect.Because the proton that neutron produces is more much better than than the ionization of electronics in gas that gamma-rays produces, thereby can realize that higher n/ γ differentiates in materials such as glass plate, tygon in tygon.This detector temporal resolution is better than 100ps.If require to hang down a bit slightly the time response to detector, as about 500ps, then can suitably increase the thickness of polyethylene layer, improve detection sensitivity to neutron.Analog computation shows that when when increase thickness in MRPC electrode glass surface is the polyethylene layer of 0.3mm, it reaches more than 20 times the neutron of 14MeV and the gamma-ray n/ γ resolution characteristic of 1.25MeV.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is not only fast neutron to be had certain sensitivity through the MRPC behind this method improvement, but also has higher n/ γ (neutron gamma) resolution characteristic.Simultaneously, because this detector adopts the printed board technique modelled signal to read bar, so this detector can have higher spatial resolving power, can be used for the neutron imaging Study on Technology.

Fig. 1, fast neutron detector structural representation.
Embodiment:
Novel fast neutron detector as shown in Figure 1, it is by cellular board 1, circuit board 2, Mylar film 3, carbon film 4, electrode glass 5, polyethylene film 6, organic glass post 7, nylon wire 8, high-voltage conducting wires 9 and target glass 10 are formed, cellular board 1 sticks on the face of circuit board 2, being printed on another side and the Mylar film 3 of reading bar 11 on the circuit board 2 pastes, Mylar film 3 is pasted together with carbon film 4, electrode glass 5 is pasted on the carbon film 4, the another side of top electrode glass 5 sticks layer of polyethylene film 6, be symmetrical on the top-bottom electrode structures, also have five blocks of target glass 10 up and down between the two cube electrode glass 5, paste layer of polyethylene film 6 on every block of target glass 10 face down, be that the nylon wire 8 of 0.22mm separates between electrode glass 5 and the target glass 10 and between the adjacent target glass 10 by diameter, be fixed with organic glass post 7 around the electrode glass, high-voltage conducting wires 9 is welded on the carbon film 4.All be printed on six on the upper and lower circuit plate 2 and read bar 11, so detector comprises six little detectors.
This detector operation gas is mixed by 95% F134a and 5% isobutane.When on high-voltage conducting wires, adding positive or negative high voltage, just set up highfield at detector.Because the polyethylene film that posts on glass, secondary proton is got in incident neutron and polyethylene film effect, and proton ionization working gas produces snowslide and amplifies, and induces signal on the bar reading of circuit board like this.The positive high voltage end induces negative signal, and negative high-voltage end induces positive signal.Because the gap between the electrode glass has only 0.22mm, so this detector has good time resolution performance, and fast neutron is had very high detection efficiency.Has very high neutron gamma resolution characteristic simultaneously.This detector can be used for neutron spectrum and measures neutron imaging, pulsed neutron intensity diagnosis etc.
