30. Development of Micromegas detectors for neutron time-of-flight measurements

Thomas Papaevangelou (CEA/IRFU,Centre d'etude de Saclay Gif-sur-Yvette (FR))

Several types of Micromegas based detectors have been developed and are being used for neutron time-of-flight measurements in facilities like n_TOF at CERN. A transparent neutron flux monitor is installed permanently in the neutron beam to measure the incident neutron flux, while a similar device is being developed for the NFS facility at GANIL. An XY-strip and a pixelized Micromegas have...

31. The NIFFTE project

The NIFFTE project is a double sided fission TPC with micromegas readout that is being developed to measure the energy dependent neutron induced cross sections of the major and minor actinides to an accuracy better than 1%. Our collaboration, a group of 7 universities and 4 national laboratories, has undertaken the task of building the first TPC for this purpose. Neutron-induced fission cross...
