Abstract
The instrumental facility of the PIK reactor (Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute,” Russia) was analyzed for compliance of its neutron detectors with all the required operational parameters based on an analysis of detector instruments and strategic trends of detector development in leading neutron research centers of the world and in similar centers in Russia for over 60 years. An attempt is made to predict the advancement of the neutron detector technology for the next 10 to 15 years. A strategy is outlined as to how these requirements might be tackled by novel detector developments. This strategy is based on the ability to produce optimally performing detectors that can make the PIK reactor instruments the world leading.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
