摘要
We have designed, built, and tested a 2-D pixellated thermal neutron detector. The detector is modeled after the MicroMegas-type structure previously published for collider-type experiments. The detector consists of a 4X4 square array of 1cm(2) pixels each of which is connected to an individual preamplifier-shaper-data acquisition system. The neutron converter is a B-10 film on an aluminum substrate. We describe the construction of the detector and the test results utilizing Cf-252 sources in Lucite to thermalize the neutrons.
