Exploring crucial technological advancements in Anger-Camera neutron detectors for single crystal neutron diffraction
RADIATION MEASUREMENTS(2024)
摘要
In accordance with the second phase construction blueprint for the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS-II), the proposal includes the establishment of a single crystal neutron diffractometer. This apparatus necessitates a neutron detector array spanning over 1 m2 and capable of covering neutron diffraction angles from 20 degrees to 160 degrees. Additionally, the detector's position resolution must better than 1 mm x 1 mm. To meet such requirements, a scintillator neutron detector based on the Anger-Camera principle was designed. The detector is composed of a 6LiF/ZnS (Ag) scintillation screen, optical guide, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) array and self-design composite compression readout electronic systems. A detector prototype, featuring a detection area of 50 mm x 50 mm, was fabricated and subjected to testing at the BL20 neutron test line in the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The detector system achieved an optimal position resolution of 0.6 mm, while the maximum count rate was approximately 20 kHz. Moreover, the detector's Bragg edge imaging capability was preliminarily investigated using stainless steel samples, demonstrating its future potential for Bragg edge transmission imaging. The proposed detector demonstrates promising potential as a candidate for the single crystal diffractometer in CSNSII.
