Abstract

A one-dimensional position-sensitive detector of thermal neutrons has been developed to equip high-efficiency neutron spectrometers at the ИБР-2 research reactor. The detector is based on a multiwire proportional chamber filled with a mixture of 3He + CF4 and has an active area of 200 × 80 mm and a spatial resolution of 2 mm. The detector has been used to good effect in the REFLEX and HRFD spectrometers of the ИБР-2 reactor, as well as in the diffraction facility of the ИВВ-2M research reactor (Zarechnyi, Russia).
