Abstract

For simultaneous detection of neutrons and high-energy division gamma-rays a new device - low-background spectroscopic position-sensitive neutron detector is proposed to be established based on 3He gas-based neutron counters or glass doped with 6Li and a number of scintillator-based neutron detectors used at the same time as neutron thermalizers. This paper presents the results of registration modeling of neutrons by proposed neutron detector for its various forms and materials and for two different neutron sources.

Keywords: low-background spectroscopic position-sensitive neutron detector, mathematical simulation
