25 Trigger and efficiency Signal (PA) Neutron signal : large number of photons but distributed in time and large range of light output Time (ns) Entries Mean RMS AmBe test data in SM1 direct threshold had to be set to 6.5 PA to limit data rate and required two channel in coincidence reduced neutron detection efficiency to 5% Neutron trigger implementation Triggers n EM Maximum Amplitude (PA) limit reactor ON/OFF data sizes and rate maximise neutron and IBD efficiency reduce rate dependence to threshold 25
26 Neutron trigger and data size Entries Mean RMS Triggers EM n AmBe test data 100 Neutron pattern recognition in firmware Number of Peaks neutron rate is low: Rn ~ 7 Hz Buffer time ±500 us and ±2 planes around neutron can recover neutron detection efficiency from 5% to 70%! remove inefficiencies of forming coincidence Zero suppression threshold at 1.5 PA applied to other signals limit data size and storage Detector cooling to 5 deg to reduce dark counts AmBe test data 26
27 Detector calibration in-situ calibration system (CROSS) Energy scale determination (% level) Absolute neutron detection efficiency (a few % level or better) off-site XY calibration system (CALIPSO) plane characterisation neutrons and EM like signals precise cube to cube equalisation 27
28 Conclusion upcoming VSBL experiments require a detector technology suited for high precision measurement very close to reactor core a highly segmented detector based on solid scintillators provides higher containment, alternative energy reconstruction and background rejection based on topology deployment of real scale module shows that percent level measurement is feasible with a highly segmented target scaling up to a larger system with high efficiency requires a neutron trigger scheme and zero suppression of data detector could achieve 30% IBD efficiency based on latest optical improvements, simple IBD selection and front-end trigger developments automated calibration system and remote control to further reduce on-site maintenance and operation 28
29 Outlook SoLid is the first step towards a cost-effective robust segmented detector directionality sensitivity still to be explored room to increase performance in the next 2-10 years: transmission design (Lattice): CHANDLER, NuLAT to improve the energy resolution Adding more Lithium or new materials to raise neutron efficiency ( >90%?) low maintenance integrated design would enable easier future deployment: applications underground network of sensors 29
