大強度パルス中性子源を用いた中性子散乱実験用次世代中性子検出器として個別読み出し型中性子ガス検出器の開発を行った。本検出システムでは分光器ごとに異なる要求性能(計数率,効率,n/$$gamma$$比,位置分解能,大面積化等)に対して検出素子を適切に選択することで柔軟に対応することが可能である。検出素子としてMWPCを用いた場合の本システムの中性子検出器基礎特性及び二次元イメージングの性能試験を行った。ガス条件を5atm 30% C$$_{2}$$H$$_{6}$$(0.26atm $$^{3}$$He)としたときにガスゲイン450で長時間安定に動作し、中性子ビームサイズを考慮した位置分解能は陰極及びバックストリップの方向で1.4, 1.6mm(FWHM)であった。また検出素子の有感領域内における検出効率の均一性は最適アンプ閾値において良好であることを確認した。

We have been developing the 2-d position-sensitive neutron detector with individual readout as next-generation-type detector system for neutron scattering experiments using intense pulsed neutron source. The detection system is designed to fulfill the specifications required for each neutron spectrometer, such as a count rate, efficiency, neutron/$$gamma$$-ray ratio, a spatial resolution and a size, by using suitable detector heads. The fundamental and imaging performances of the developed system assembled with a Multi-wire proportional counter head were evaluated using a collimated neutron beam. The system worked stably for long hours at the gas pressure of 5 atm with a mixture of 30% C$$_{2}$$H$$_{6}$$ (0.26 atm $$^{3}$$He)at gas gain of 450. The spatial resolutions were 1.4, 1.6 mm (FWHM) for a cathode- and a back strip- direction, respectively, considering a beam size. It was also confirmed that the spatial uniformity of the detection efficiency over the whole sensitive detection area was rather good, $$pm$$8 % deviation from the average with the optimum discrimination level.
