The application discloses a deep
space radiation neutron detector and belongs to the technical field of
nuclear radiation detection. The
gadolinium film captures slow neutrons to generate multi-state particles, the TPC module detects the three-dimensional tracks and energy of the inner conversion electrons and
Auger electrons, the energy quantifier module detects the energy of the prompt gamma rays, and efficient and high-precision
neutron detection is realized through
electron-gamma
coincidence measurement. The application adopts
gadolinium to replace the scarce 3 He, solves the problems of low efficiency and high cost of the traditional
detector, combines the track reconstruction capability of the TPC module and the
high energy resolution of the energy quantifier, significantly improves the
signal-to-
noise ratio and detection sensitivity of the
neutron signal, and is suitable for fields such as
deep space exploration and
nuclear radiation monitoring.
