Short description
Scanning techniques applied to various types of particle beams delivering information on spatial intensity distribution is commonly used technique in physics research and its applications. Beams of slow neutrons with velocity of about 1 km/s generated by nuclear reactors or spallation sources are used in the research of the structure of matter and fundamental particle physics. In the planning of experiments and analysis of experimental data the spatial density distribution is a key information. The constructed scanner will be used on the cold neutron beam at the Laue-Langevin Institute, Grenoble, France. In the framework of the summer internship, the student (he/she) will participate in the construction and characterization of a scanner that utilizes the semiconductor light sensors for detection of neutrons. Involved students will have chance for carrying out laboratory measurements using weak radioactive calibration sources and existing equipment.
