Description
The MIMAC projet (MIcro-tpc MAtrix of Chambers) is aiming at performing directional non baryonic Dark Matter detection. In the frame of this project, a micro-pattern detector with a pixelised anode, coupled without wiring to a self-triggering electronic, has been developed. This system is currently being adapted to aim at fast neutron detection in the range [10 keV ; 10 MeV], for applications such as homeland security, radioprotection, physics and medical monitoring. The main features of this system are:
- An autonomous portable solution, compatible with industrial environments and on-site activities,
- Fast neutron detection, with electron and gamma discrimination,
- Energy spectrum construction,
- Neutron emitter 3-D location.
