New Neutron Detector Design Optimization by Monte Carlo Simulation
Original language description
The main aim of the project Advanced Detectors for Better Awareness of Neutrons and Gamma Rays in Environment (Czech-Norwegian Research Programme) is to develop a portable highly efficient and large area neutron sensitive detecting device for measurement of composition and spectral characteristics of mixed radiation fields. The device development tends to use in environmental and health research with a special attention to radiation protection and medical use of radiation One of the goal is to provide simulation results of developed device under irradiation from different radiation sources. Monte Carlo code MCNPX has been employed for particle transport (as well as nuclear reactions) simulations in the matter. The paper presents results of simulation of different structures to be etched into sensors (to increase neutron detection efficiency) over plain planar configuration as well as different conversion layer materials. Further, influence of various dead layer thickness and aluminum contacts in/on silicon detector layer has been compared and evaluated in the context of the neutron detection efficiency. Results of the simulation have been utilized in design of sensor by cooperating Norwegian organization.
