/ Pietropaolo, A (ENEA, Frascati) ; Claps, G (ENEA, Frascati) ; Fedrigo, A (Rutherford) ; Grazzi, F (IFAC, Florence) ; Höglund, C (ESS, Lund ; Linkoping U.) ; Murtas, F (Frascati ; CERN) ; Scherillo, A (Rutherford) ; Schmidt, S (ESS, Lund ; IHI Ionbond AG, Olten) ; Schooneveld, E M (Rutherford)
The upgraded version of the GEM side-on thermal neutron detector was successfully tested in a neutron diffraction experiment on a reference sample using the INES diffractometer at the ISIS spallation neutron source, UK. The performance of the new $^{10}$B$_4$C-based detector is compared to that of a standard $^3$He tube, operating at the instrument as a part of the detectors assembly. [...]

A novel type of thermal neutron detector based on the gas electron multiplier (GEM) technology is presented in the framework of the research and development activity on the 3He replacement for neutron detection. The device relies on a series of boron-coated alumina sheets placed perpendicularly to the incident neutron beam direction. [...]

A new position-sensitive thermal neutron detector based on boron-coated converters has been developed as an alternative to today’s standard $^3\mathrm{He}$-based technology for application to thermal neutron scattering. The key elements of the development are the boron-coated GEM foils (Sauli in Nucl Instrum Methods Phys Res Sect A Accel Spectrom Detect Assoc Equip 386:531, 1997) that are used as a multi-layer neutron converter via the $^{10}\mathrm{B}(n,\alpha )^7\mathrm{Li}$ reaction together with an efficient collection of the produced secondary electrons.

First measurements with new high-resolution gadolinium-GEM neutron detectors
/ Pfeiffer, Dorothea (ESS, Lund ; CERN) ; Resnati, Filippo (ESS, Lund ; CERN) ; Birch, Jens (Linkoping U.) ; Etxegarai, Maddi (ESS, Lund) ; Hall-Wilton, Richard (ESS, Lund) ; Höglund, Carina (ESS, Lund) ; Hultman, Lars (Mid Sweden U., Sundsvall) ; Llamas-Jansa, Isabel (ESS, Lund) ; Oliveri, Eraldo (CERN) ; Oksanen, Esko (ESS, Lund) et al.
European Spallation Source instruments like the macromolecular diffractometer, NMX, require an excellent neutron detection efficiency, high-rate capabilities, time resolution, and an unprecedented spatial resolution in the order of a few hundred micrometers over a wide angular range of the incoming neutrons. For these instruments solid converters in combination with Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are a promising option. [...]

A new type of beam loss monitor has been developed based on
the detection of fast neutrons produced by beam losses in hadron
linear accelerators. This neutron sensitive Beam Loss Monitor (nBLM)
has been concieved to fulfil the requirements of the European
Spallation Source (ESS) and it will be part of the ESS neutron
sensitive BLM system (ESS-nBLM). [...]

The Multi-Blade (MB) Boron-10-based neutron detector is the chosen technology for three instruments at the European Spallation Source (ESS): the two ESS reflectometers, ESTIA and FREIA, and the Test Beam Line. A fourth MB detector has been built, installed and commissioned for the user operation of the reflectometer Amor at PSI (Switzerland). [...]
