Neutron Measurements with a double coincidence Telescope Proton Recoil Spectrometer

Abstract: A TPR spectrometer has been designed and first tested at ChipIR in December 2016 to measure the E > 10 MeV neutron spectrum for chip irradiation experiments and validate Monte Carlo calculations. Although the first test showed the scientific value of the TPR technique, it suffered from excessive gamma-ray background. Based on these results, we have revised the instrument design by use of a double coincidence silicon setup to further optimize the signal-to-background ratio. In this run, we aim at demonstrating the benefits of the new design and at providing improved measurements of the neutron spectrum at ChipIR.
