商品描述
This book covers the most common neutron detectors used in neutron scattering facilities and all of those in use at Oak Ridge National Lab. It starts describing the facilities, instruments and the critical detector parameters needed by various instruments. Then the key components of the 3He-based linear position-sensitive detectors as well as on their electronics, which require particular attention to signal processing and noise reduction, are introduced. One chapter is dedicated to the 3He alternatives where scintillators play a critical role. It also covers emerging neutron detection technologies including semiconductors, vacuum-based devices and their associated readouts, which will be required in the future for high rate and high-resolution neutron detectors.
The authors explain the logic behind the choice of materials as well as the various constraints that neutron detectors must respect to be useful. Some of these constraints, such as efficiency and gamma-ray sensitivity are common to all neutron counters while others, like timing resolution, dynamic range, and peak counting rate, depend on the applications.
The book guides experts, the nuclear science community, and young scholars through the physical processes and the required electronics in a way that is accessible for those not professionally involved in designing detector's components and electronic circuits.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書涵蓋了在中子散射設施中最常用的中子探測器，以及在奧克里奇國家實驗室使用的所有探測器。書中首先描述了設施、儀器以及各種儀器所需的關鍵探測器參數。接著介紹了基於 3He 的線性位置敏感探測器的關鍵組件，以及其電子設備，這些設備需要特別注意信號處理和噪聲降低。一章專門介紹了 3He 的替代品，其中閃爍體扮演著關鍵角色。書中還涵蓋了新興的中子探測技術，包括半導體、真空設備及其相關的讀取裝置，這些技術在未來將是高速率和高解析度中子探測器所必需的。
作者解釋了材料選擇背後的邏輯，以及中子探測器必須遵循的各種約束條件，以便能夠實用。其中一些約束條件，如效率和伽馬射線靈敏度，對所有中子計數器都是共同的，而其他條件，如時間解析度、動態範圍和峰值計數率，則取決於應用。
這本書以易於理解的方式引導專家、核科學社群和年輕學者了解物理過程和所需的電子設備，適合那些未專業參與探測器組件和電子電路設計的人士。
作者簡介
Dr. Yacouba Diawara is currently the Detector Group leader at the Spallation Neutron Source. He received his Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and a M.Sc in Physics, both from the University of Québec at Trois-Rivières (Canada). He completed his PhD in Engineering Physics from Montréal Ecole Polytechnique and held a postdoctoral fellowship at INRS-Energie (Canada).
As a research scientist, he has led several R&D or Engineering Groups for different organizations such as the Montréal Ecole Polytechnique, Bruker AXS (Madison, WI), the Spallation Neutron Source (Oak Ridge, TN), IAEA Nuclear Science and Instrumentation laboratory Head (Vienna, Austria) and the DOE NBL Program office Director. These different Groups developed many commercial radiation (x-ray, gamma-ray, charged particle and neutron) detectors and processes which are currently used in scientific instruments, research reactors and accelerator-based beamlines.
