A prototype of portable sealed neutron generator has been recently built to deliver 14 MeV neutron beams tagged by " YAP:Ce alpha-particle detector. In order to produce simultaneously multiple neutron beams to irradiate complex samples, a study of the position sensitivity of the alpha-particle detector has been performed. Possible applications in non-destructive analysis and future developments of the tagged neutron inspection system (TNIS) concept are discussed.

Abstract

A prototype of portable sealed neutron generator has been recently built to deliver 14 MeV neutron beams tagged by " YAP:Ce alpha-particle detector. In order to produce simultaneously multiple neutron beams to irradiate complex samples, a study of the position sensitivity of the alpha-particle detector has been performed. Possible applications in non-destructive analysis and future developments of the tagged neutron inspection system (TNIS) concept are discussed.
