Introduction (1)About thermal neutrons:• Discovered by Enrico Fermi
(1938 Nobel prize was awarded for his work on thermal neutrons).
• Produced when fast neutron enter and are slowed down in material with large concentration of hydrogen such paraffin or water.
• More readily absorbed by atomic nucleus (large reaction cross section)

Purpose of our experiments
• To produce neutrons by Be(p,n) reaction with 53MeV protron beams from the cyclotron accellerator, and then thermalize them in the water-drum.
• To measure the space distribution of the thermal neutron in the water-
drum.

Coincidence technique• True coincidence & accidental coincidence
– True coincidence events: correlation
– Accidental coincidence events: no correlation.
eg.βfrom one source and γfrom another source.
• Resolving time for coincidence system– The shortest time which the system can distinguish
between two signals
)( 2121 ttnnnaccidental – t1:the width of signal 1
– t2:the width of signal 2

Conclusion• Neutrons were produced by Be(p,n) reaction with 53MeV proton beams from
the cyclotron accelerator, and then were thermalized in the water-drum.
• The space distribution of the neutron fluence rate in the water-drum was measured with activation methods,and the results showed that the distribution is isotropic.
• The activities of the gold foils were measured both with HPGE detector and β-γcoincidence system, and the results were compared with each other.
• Energy spectrum of neutron may need more measurements or calculation.
