Description

The Department of Spectrometers Complex (DSC) of IBR-2 plays an important role in maintaining the efficiency and development of the experimental facilities at the IBR-2 reactor. One of the directions of DSC is the development and creation of wide-aperture neutron detectors based on the 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator. As part of the modernization of the scientific installations of the IBR-2 reactor, the ASTRA-M and BSD detectors were created. At the moment, the detectors have been created and installed on the diffractometers of the IBR-2 reactor.
The report will present the first results obtained from the ASTRA-M and BSD detectors, and provide a comparison with the previous ones.
