Organic neutron detector development for future Nuclear Threat Reduction and Dark Matter experiments

暗物质占宇宙能量密度的25%。理解DM的本质是STFC的首要任务。当前和未来的DM实验的背景是中子(n)与物质的相互作用，模拟DM-核子弹性散射。这些背景是由否决权系统控制的。该项目旨在为未来DM实验开发n-veto系统的新技术。这可能有其他一些科学和商业应用。

25% of the energy density of the Universe is Dark Matter (DM). Understanding the nature of DM is an STFC priority. Current and future DM experiments have backgrounds from neutron (n) interactions with matter that mimic DM-nucleon elastic scattering. These backgrounds are controlled using veto systems. This project aims to develop new technology for n-veto systems for future DM experiments. This could have several other scientific and commercial applications.
