DIAMOND THERMAL-NEUTRON MONITOR

The A7 Diamond Thermal-Neutron Monitor is designed for the measurement of the neutron flux in thermal neutron beams. A highly enriched ⁶LiF layer is used as thermal neutron converter, where the ⁶Li(n,α)³H reaction is used for neutron detection. The monitor is optimized for high count rates and allows using cables up to 10 m length between detector and amplifier, to enable the usage in high-radiation environments.
