Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF STABILIZATION OF A GAMMA AND NEUTRON DETECTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/202793
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A spectroscopic gamma and neutron detecting device includes a scintillation detector that detects gamma and thermal neutron radiation, the scintillation detector including signal detection and amplification electronics, and a stabilization module configured to measure a pulse height spectrum of neutron radiation, determine a thermal neutron peak position in the neutron pulse height spectrum originating from cosmic ray background radiation, monitor the thermal neutron peak position in the neutron pulse height spectrum during operation of the spectroscopic gamma and neutron detecting device, and adjust the signal detection and amplification electronics based on the thermal neutron peak position in the neutron pulse height spectrum, thereby stabilizing the spectroscopic gamma and neutron detecting device.
