Monte Carlo simulations of a microstructured silicon detector with high efficiency for thermal neutrons

In this work we present a design optimization of a high efficiency neutron detector with MCNPX simulations. The detector is based on a silicon structure incorporating a boron-based converter to detect thermal neutrons by means of the super(10)B(n, alpha ) super(7)Li nuclear reaction. In order to imp...
