Description
- This proportional counter is highly sensitive to thermal neutrons and is an excellent choice for Fusor enthusiasts and general fusion research.
- This detector will work both in proportional and corona modes (depending on bias voltage).
- Each tube has been tested and verified to produce proper thermal neutron spectrum.
Sensitivity
- 47 CPS/nv
- Typical Background Counts: 1-5 CPM
Moderator
- For best results surround the detector with 3 inches of HDPE moderator on all sides.
Connectivity
- SHV connector.
- Use 10 nF capacitor and for HV bias voltage filtering and 10 MOhm resistor for HV bias load.
Technical Specifications
- Length: 8 inches
- Diameter: 1.25 inches
- Fill Gas: 3He
- Pressure: 2 atm
- Recommended Bias: 1400V (proportional mode); or >2000 V (corona mode).
