Description
The development of a new generation of neutron sources and the limited supply of 3He have led to the development of new technologies for the detection of slow neutrons. Magnetron sputtering of enriched 10B boron carbide allows for the production of homogeneous films with a density of 2.4-2.5 g/cm³. In this study, the applicability of the 10B-RPC as a slow neutron detector has been demonstrated, and the main parameters of the system have been determined, as well as a method for identifying neutron events has been developed. Due to its Low cost, scalability and implementation of inclined geometry make the 10B-RPC a promising detector for covering large areas of cold reflectometers.
