Description

A high flux neutron detection system, integrating the neutron converter material 6Li and 12C and a highly sensitive mass spectrometer, is been developed to detect slow and fast neutrons. The reaction rates and neutron flux will be deduced from the analysis of the 4He atoms released with the mass spectrometer.
