The imaging semiconductor pixel detector Timepix allows the charge collected in each of its 256??256 pixels (55 ??m pitch) to be measured. This feature makes it suitable for applications where the energy and position of incoming radiation needs to be determined. We are developing a fast neutron spectroscopy and radiography technique that is based on tracking protons recoiled by fast neutrons. The...
Fast neutrons are increasingly used in many fields. Fast neutrons are conventionally detected by scintillators with relatively large volume and low spatial resolution. In this paper we present a novel detection technique based on tracking of protons recoiled by fast neutrons. The tracking is performed by the silicon pixelated detector Timepix (300 um thick silicon sensor, 256 ?? 256 square pixels...
Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) are neutrons with very small kinetic energies (below 300 neV). The energy is so low that they are reflected from the surface of many materials under any angle of incidence. These neutrons can be thus trapped by an effective Fermi potential and stored inside material “bottles”. Recently bound quantum states of neutrons in the earth’s gravitational field have been observed...
