1036066AhlenThis award will support an R&D program leading to large-area multi-wire proportional chambers containing a neutron converter in the form of a thin Li-6 metal foil. The intended goal of the program is to use these new detectors in place of He-3 detectors in Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs). The project includes the training of post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students in detector simulation, design, fabrication, and characterization. It will help develop the human capabilities for future development of nuclear detection systems. The proposed detector system could help fill an existing gap in our nation's defense against illicit nuclear materials brought about by the shortage of He-3 for traditional neutron detectors.

1036066Ahlen 该奖项将支持一项研发计划，该计划旨在开发大面积多线比例室，其中包含薄 Li-6 金属箔形式的中子转换器。 该计划的预期目标是使用这些新探测器代替辐射入口监视器 (RPM) 中的 He-3 探测器。该项目包括对博士后、研究生和本科生进行探测器模拟、设计、制造和表征方面的培训。它将有助于培养人类未来开发核探测系统的能力。 拟议的探测器系统可以帮助填补我国因传统中子探测器 He-3 短缺而造成的非法核材料防御方面的现有空白。
