Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Instrumentation
  • Radiation Detection and Imaging

Background:

  • Traditional neutron scatter cameras often lack portability and omnidirectional capabilities.
  • Field deployment of radiation detection systems requires compact, robust, and self-powered instruments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a compact, battery-operable neutron scatter camera for field deployment.
  • To demonstrate its capabilities in omnidirectional imaging and radionuclide source localization.
  • To showcase its utility in distinguishing between different plutonium materials based on neutron spectra.

Main Methods:

  • A novel configuration of sixteen liquid-scintillator detection cells providing 4π imaging.
  • Utilizing the system as both a neutron scatter camera and a Compton camera.
  • Acquiring and analyzing neutron spectra for material discrimination.

Main Results:

  • The camera achieves omnidirectional (4π) imaging with sensitivity comparable to conventional systems.
  • The system effectively localizes both energetic neutron and gamma sources.
  • Distinguishes between plutonium metal and plutonium oxide, and between AmBe and fission sources based on neutron spectra.

Conclusions:

  • The developed neutron scatter camera is a highly compact and versatile instrument for field-based radiation source localization.
  • Its ability to perform spectral analysis enhances its capability for nuclear material identification.
  • This technology offers significant advantages for applications requiring portable and sensitive radiation detection.
