We have been developing a position-sensitive neutron detector, which exhibits a high spatial resolution of the order of 10 microns and high detection efficiency. The analysis on the pulse-heights or on the time-delay between the STJs gives incident positions of the neutrons. In this paper, the response of the STJs/LBO neutron detector measured using a cold neutron beam is presented. The two STJs have the same size of 50 $$times$$ 50 $$mu$$ m$$^{2}$$ and their distance is 1.3 mm. The count intensity in the correlation map varied depending on the incident position of the neutron beam which gives an evidence for the position-sensitivity of the detector. These experimental results were qualitatively understood by a simple solid-angle model.

Discrimination of neutrons and $$gamma$$ ray by a neutron detector comprising a superconducting tunnel junction on a single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$

We evaluated the neutron-$$gamma$$-rays discrimination of the neutron detector comprising a superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) on the single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$. The neutron detector was irradiated with X-rays, $$gamma$$-rays and neutrons, and the signal pulses were analyzed including pulse height distributions and rise times. It was found that the most of the signal pulses for the neutron-events exhibited slower rise times than those for X-rays and $$gamma$$-rays. This indicated the capability of neutron-$$gamma$$-rays discrimination of the detector using the differences in the decay time of the signal current.

Neutron detection by superconducting tunnel junctions on a Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$ single-crystal absorber

Nakamura, Tatsuya; Katagiri, Masaki; Ukibe, Masahiro*; Ikeuchi, Takashi*; Okubo, Masataka*

We succeeded in detecting neutrons using superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) fabricated on a single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$. Neutrons are captured in the crystal by the nuclear reactions $$^{6}$$Li + n $$rightarrow$$ T+ $$alpha$$ + 4.78 MeV and $$^{10}$$B + n $$rightarrow$$ $$^{7}$$Li + $$alpha$$ + 2.3 MeV, and generated phonons propagate in the absorber and are measured by the STJs. We selected a single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$ as the absorber material because of properties such as the large neutron cross-section of $$^{6}$$Li and $$^{10}$$B, low $$gamma$$-ray sensitivity, short particle range in the substrate, and fast phonon velocity. Series-connected or multiple STJs on the crystal would enable two-dimensional neutron imaging with high detection efficiency, low gamma-ray background, and a high spatial resolution of a few microns. We demonstrate neutron detection by the STJs and show their X-ray response and neutron detection. The correlation in pulse heights between two junctions located 1.3mm apart clearly indicates the possibility of neutron imaging.
