dc.description.abstractminiBELEN is a modular and transportable neutron moderated counter with a nearly flat neutron detection efficiency up to 10 MeV. Modularity implies that the moderator can be reassembled in different ways in order to obtain different types of response. The detector has been developed in the context of the Measurement of Alpha Neutron Yields (MANY) collaboration, which is a scientific effort aiming to carry out measurements of (a, n) production yields, reaction cross-sections and neutron energy spectra. In this work we present and discuss several configurations of the miniBELEN detector. The experimental validation of the efficiency calculations using 252Cf sources and the measurement of the 27Al(a, n) 30P reaction is also presented.
dc.description.sponsorshipThis work has been supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under grants FPA2017-83946- C2-1 & C2-2 and PID2019-104714GB-C21 & C22, the Generalitat Valenciana Grant PROMETEO/2019/007, both cofounded by FEDER (EU), and the SANDA project funded under H2020-EURATOM-1.1 Grant No. 847552. The authors acknowledge the support from Centro de Microanálisis de Materiales (CMAM) - Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, for the beam time proposal (Comissioning of neutron detector systems for (a,݊n) reaction measurements) with code P01156, and its technical staff for their contribution to the operation of the accelerator.
