Description

We present the Delft initiatives in thermal neutron detection, a field that has been dominated by 3-He gaseous detectors. Our developments will be tested at the research reactor of the TU Delft, but the group also designs and builds instruments for partner institutes like ISIS, UK and the future European Spallation Source in Sweden. In this framework we present our collaborations on high-resolution Timepix-based neutron detectors with Amsterdam Scientific Instruments, a scintillator based diffraction detector, developed with ISIS, UK and our future plans in this field.
