Abstract

A design scheme for compensated thermal neutron detector based on He-3 tube of SiC micro-structure is proposed herein in order to improve the detection sensitivity of the thermal neutron detector and then to improve the detection precision. Firstly the physical foundation analysis of thermal neutron detector with the silicon carbide (SiC) micro-structure is given herein and it is pointed out that the instrument response basically reflects the tiny space of stratum full of fluid; secondly, the response equation of He-3 Tube structure of the neutron detector is given and then the functional block diagram for compensated neutron detector is designed based on it; finally, the performance of compensated thermal neutron detector based on He-3 tube of SiC micro-structure proposed herein is effectively tested through experiment.
