DIAMOND PROTON RECOIL TELESCOPE

The A8 Diamond Proton Recoil Telescope is designed to measure the neutron flux in high-energy neutron beams with highest precision. It is used for the neutron beam monitoring in mono-energetic fast neutron beams at Van de Graaff and Tandem accelerators. The detection of fast-neutrons is based on the well known ¹H(n,p)n reaction, where the neutron energy is determined by measuring the energy deposited in the Diamond Telescope Detector by proton recoils.
