摘要

Abstract

A position-sensitive detector, which is a neutron target at the same time, is presented to study the interaction reactions of fast neutrons of above 1 MeV with light nuclei, in particular, with the ¹⁰B nucleus. It contains two boron-10 layers and a system of wire electrodes to identify secondary nuclei, in particular ³H and ⁴He, and to determine energy loss and departure angle. Thus the neutron energy can be determined.
