Abstract
A self-powered neutron detector (SPND) with a neutron-sensitive emitter made of metallic hafnium is investigated. The SPND was manufactured at the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” and irradiated at the IR-8 reactor together with rhodium SPNDs. It is shown that, in contrast to the common SPND with a hafnium oxide emitter, this SPND produces an inertia-free signal that is only an order of magnitude smaller than that of the rhodium SPND.
期刊介绍:
Physics of Atomic Nuclei is a journal that covers experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear physics: nuclear structure, spectra, and properties; radiation, fission, and nuclear reactions induced by photons, leptons, hadrons, and nuclei; fundamental interactions and symmetries; hadrons (with light, strange, charm, and bottom quarks); particle collisions at high and superhigh energies; gauge and unified quantum field theories, quark models, supersymmetry and supergravity, astrophysics and cosmology.
