The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design and the performances of a new, innovative type of Proton Recoil Telescope builded to measure neutron fluence and spectra in different nuclear physics applications. The PRT detector features a low energy threshold (few MeV) and wide dinamical range (up to hundreds MeV), good energy resolution with a reasonably high efficiency and a compact structure. The results of a first in-beam measurement on the main reaction 13C(d,n) with a 40 MeV deuteron beam, at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS), Catania, Italy, are discussed. A comparison between the obtained neutron yield as a function of energy and the available data of the reaction 13C(p,n) at 40 MeV, is shown.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design and the performances of a new, innovative type of Proton Recoil Telescope builded to measure neutron fluence and spectra in different nuclear physics applications. The PRT detector features a low energy threshold (few MeV) and wide dinamical range (up to hundreds MeV), good energy resolution with a reasonably high efficiency and a compact structure. The results of a first in-beam measurement on the main reaction 13C(d,n) with a 40 MeV deuteron beam, at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS), Catania, Italy, are discussed. A comparison between the obtained neutron yield as a function of energy and the available data of the reaction 13C(p,n) at 40 MeV, is shown.
