AbstraktAbstract
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 μm thick silicon sensor, 256 × 256 square pixels with 55 μm pitch) covered by a hydrogen rich converter (e.g. plastic material).
