METHOD FOR REGISTRATION OF NEUTRONS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01T3/06 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to area of neutron registration by scintillation method using inorganic scintillation material. Essence of the inventions lies in the fact that neutron registration method comprises stages on which photons of scintillation are registered, which are formed in contact with neutrons in gamma ray scintillator based on inorganic material containing neutron absorbing components, and determine characteristics of neutron radiation, using inorganic scintillation material containing gadolinium atoms, photons of scintillations from gamma quanta are registered in energy range of 40–1,300 keV and make benchmarking analysis of line intensity and / or group of line intensity in measured spectrum of emitted gamma quanta in at least two energy ranges and according to the results of this analysis a conclusion about magnitude and spectral characteristics of registered neutron radiation is made.

EFFECT: expanding of energy range and increase in sensitivity of neutron detector.
