| Popis: | Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology, when combined with fast timing detectors and electronics, can be used to design a compact time-of-flight neutron spectrometer capable of identifying correlated neutron sources such as spontaneous fission from plutonium. Two EJ-200 organic plastic scintillators were coupled to separate C-series SiPM arrays designed by Endectra and manufactured by SensL. These assemblies were placed 30 centimeters away from each other with a 252Cf source next to one detector. The time-of-flight distribution was used to compute the measured neutron energy distribution, whose shape compared favorably to the expected neutron energy distribution for neutron energies greater than 2 MeV. |
