Title:
窒化ホウ素ナノチューブ中性子検出器、中性子検出方法及び中性子検出システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6782713
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with 1013 combined with a scintillation gas can serve as the basis for detecting thermal neutrons by detecting light from the decay products of the thermal neutron's absorption on the 10B atoms in the BNNT Material as the resultant decay products pass through the scintillating gas. BNNTs with 11B can be utilized as a scaffold for 238U and combined with a scintillation gas as the basis for detecting fast neutrons via detecting light from the fission decay products passing through the scintillating gas. Both technologies provide high spatial and temporal resolution for the detection of thermal neutrons and fast neutrons respectively.
