The triple GEM detector as stray neutron monitor

A triple GEM detector for low energy neutrons and high rejection of gamma background was tested at the CERF facility at CERN as stray neutron monitor. The detector was exposed to a wide neutron spectrum generated by a 120 GeV/c positively charged hadron beam hitting a copper target. The beam particl...

description A triple GEM detector for low energy neutrons and high rejection of gamma background was tested at the CERF facility at CERN as stray neutron monitor. The detector was exposed to a wide neutron spectrum generated by a 120 GeV/c positively charged hadron beam hitting a copper target. The beam particle rate on target ranged over three orders of magnitude. The neutron count rate measured with the GEM could be linearly correlated with the beam intensity and also compared well with Monte Carlo simulations. The detector performance suggests that it can be used as an independent low energy neutron monitor at high-energy particle accelerator facilities.
