LUPIN BF3-NP中子周围剂量率仪

NEUTRON REM COUNTER FOR PULSED FIELDS

LUPIN BF3-NP is an environmental monitoring unit for neutron H*(10) measurements, with unique excellent performance for neutron detection in pulsed fields.

The rem counter is composed of:

• BF3 neutron proportional counter

• Cylindrical moderating assembly

•  Built-in power supply, signal acquisition and processing, and control electronics

The built-in electronics processes the signal coming from the detector and elaborates the instantaneous H*(10) rate value every second.

If required, the radiation sensitive electronics can be housed in a separate rack, thanks to the modularity of the instrument components.

The data are sent to the connected SATURN ratemeter acquisition and control unit, which locally displays the instantaneous H*(10) rate and the integrated values and compares them to the pre-set alarm thresholds.

A LUPIN BF3-NP LITE version is also available, featuring a lighter build and a narrower energy range, suitable for all the applications that do not require to detect neutrons with energy above 20 MeV.

Main features:

• Only detector world-wide efficiently working in pulsed fields

• Modular electronics

• High sensitivity

• Fully customizable for specific requirements of particle accelerator facilities

• Energy range: from thermal up to 10 GeV or up to 20 MeV (LITE version)

• Energy response closely resembles the ICRP74 conversion curve

• Unaffected by signal pile-up and so particularly suited for pulsed neutron fields

• Maximum H*(10) per burst in pulsed fields: 2 µSv

• Connectable to SATURN ratemeters

• Excellent gamma rejection (< 0.5 µSv/h at 50 mSv/h, 662 keV)
