Absolute Calibration of Proportional Counter Based Fast Pulsed Neutron Detectors with Resolution Below 10(5) neutron/pulse

Abstract

A method for absolute calibration of proportional counters for pulsed fast neutrons is presented. The method is based on the use of an isotopic standard source and development of a model for counting detected events from area of a signal compounded by single piled up neutron pulses. Effects of detection counting statistics and electrical background noise are also considered. The method is applied in detectors used for D-D neutron yield measurements in low emission plasma focus devices.
