Ab initio response functions for Cherenkov-based neutron detectors
Neutron time-of-flight diagnostics at the NIF were recently outfitted with Cherenkov detectors. A fused silica radiator delivers sub-nanosecond response time and is optically coupled to a microchannel plate photomultiplier tube with gain from ∼1 to 104. Capitalizing on fast time response and gamma-r...
