“…The total number of photons collected is approximately constant for this test, so there is little change in Gaussian noise. Because (as was noted elsewhere [6] and confirmed by our tests) resolution and distortion are coupled, we cannot simply reduce the light cone spread to improve the resolution. While a narrower light cone does improve the resolution, it also worsens the distortion especially near the tube gaps.…”

a b s t r a c tWe describe the design and performance of a 157 mm Â 157 mm two dimensional neutron detector. The detector uses the Anger principle to determine the position of neutrons. We have verified FWHM resolution of o 1.2 mm with distortion o0.5 mm on over 50 installed Anger Cameras. The performance of the detector is limited by the light yield of the scintillator, and it is estimated that the resolution of the current detector could be doubled with a brighter scintillator. Data collected from small (o 1 mm 3 ) single crystal reference samples at the single crystal instrument TOPAZ provide results with low values of the refinement parameter R w (F).

“…The primary purpose of the glass spacer is to allow expansion of the light cone to span the tube gaps. As described in other designs, gaps between optically active elements have a major impact on the performance of the detector [5,6]. All glass interfaces are coupled using silicone gel.…”

Abstract-For two-dimensional scintillation detectors based on position-sensitive photomultipliers, a new PCI or cPCI unit has been developed. It aims at fast signal and data processing by the usage of advanced technologies like digital signal processors and field-programmable gate arrays. The main features of this design are described in this paper. Digital test measurements were carried out showing that the chosen design complies with the requirements of nuclear pulse processing for such applications.Index Terms-Detector, detector read out, digital signal processor (DSP), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), neutron, photomultiplier, UniDAQ.
