Mathematical Modeling of the Efficiency Gadolinium Based Neutron Converters

Abstract: Procedures of mathematical modeling of thin solid-state converters of neutrons are described and converters a foil from natural gadolinium and its 157 isotopes are viewed. Algorithms of calculation of absorption of neutrons in a material of converters, probabilities formation of secondary electrons, probability of an exit of electrons from a material of the converter and efficiency of converters are given. Calculation is made for various thicknesses of converters, and various wavelengths of neutrons. The optim… Show more

“…For neutrons with 1.8 Å wavelength, the calculated efficiency was around 11.6%. According to Abdushukurov, the calculated detection efficiency for a 100 µm thick natural Gd converter in backwards mode with neutrons of 1.8 Å wavelength amounts to 15.2% [34]. With 1.8 Å neutrons and without scattering of the neutrons, Geant4 arrives in backwards configuration at an detection efficiency of 13.9% for a converter thickness of 25 µm and 14.1% for a converter thickness of 100 µm.…”

“…Desain penelitian yang dilakukan dengan bentuk kuasi eksperimen ini dikhususkan kepada bentuk "Non Equipalent Control Giroup Design". Dalam desain ini terdapat pretest, sebelum dilakukan perlakuan sama seperti pada bentuk pretest-posttest control group design didesain eksperimen sejati, hanya pada desain ini kelompok eksperimen dan maupun kelompok kontrol tidak dipilih secara random atau acak [17].…”

“…Characteristic efficiency curves have been calculated [36] for a range of incident neutron energies. For a detector system in forward geometry there is a maximum in efficiency as a function of gadolinium layer thickness, typically at thicknesses in the range from 4 µm to 5 µm for 2 Å neutrons.…”
