Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to a two-dimensional detection system for neutron radiation comprising a means ( 1 ) for emitting a neutron beam ( 10 ), a support means ( 2 ) adapted for receiving a sample ( 3 ), a photoemission means ( 5 ) adapted for being activated by a neutron radiation, a cooled low light level charge-coupled detection device ( 7 ). The emission means ( 1 ) emits a monochromatic neutron beam ( 10 ). The system further comprises a filter means ( 4 ), the filter means ( 4 ) being located between the support means ( 2 ) and the photoemission means ( 5 ) and being adapted for trapping at least a substantial part of the monochromatic neutron beam transmitted ( 12 ) by the sample ( 3 ), and an amplification means ( 6 ) located upstream the charge-coupled detection device ( 7 ) and coupled with the charge-coupled detection device ( 7 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Two-dimensional neutron detection system for neutron scattering comprising (a) an emission means configured for emitting a monochromatic neutron beam, (b) a support means for receiving a sample, arranged in the trajectory of the monochromatic neutron beam; (c) a photoemission means for activation by neutrons, arranged in the trajectory of the monochromatic neutron beam after the (b) support means, wherein (c) the photoemission means comprises a lit…
