Abstract

Detecting equipment for the nanosecond tagged-neutron technology has been developed, and its characteristics have been studied. The principles of arrangement and operation of the readout electronics based on the selection of useful events according to specified criteria and data accumulation by a buffer-memory unit with subsequent transfer of data arrays to a remote computer for processing and visualization. The main selection criterion is the presence of signals from α- and γ detectors within the time gate and amplitude ranges in the absence of overlapped events. A prototype of a setup for testing the developed equipment was assembled and experimental studies of its characteristics were performed. The time resolution attained in the recording of α-γ coincidences is 1.0 ± 0.1 ns at an amplitude resolution of the γ detector of 3.6–3.8%.
