Sumario:The n_TOF facility at CERN provides high accuracy cross-section measurement of isotopes used in nuclear energy systems, nuclear astrophysics and medical applications. To provide this data a various detectors are used. One of these detectors is so called microMegas micro-pattern detector used for neutron beam flux measurement. The simulations on stopping length in a detector active volume and deposited energy spectrum has been done an can be seen in this paper. Afterwards two microMegas detectors has been characterised by evaluating transparency and gain curves.
