Abstrakt: In microchannel plate applications, such as in space telescopes, night-vision devices, or time-of-flight particle detection, reducing the sensitivity to signals from background sources, such as γ-rays, is beneficial for the system design and performance. The response of a single-stage lead-free borosilicate-glass microchannel plate to 14-MeV neutrons and γ-rays produced via (n, γ) reactions in surrounding structures was investigated at OMEGA. The average efficiency values for secondary electron production were found to be (5.1 ± 0.7) × 10−3 for 14-MeV neutrons and (4.9 ± 1.1) × 10−3 for ⟨1.5⟩-MeV γ-rays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
