Abstract

This contribution evaluates the feasibility and potential of a statistical determination of the neutron energy for thermal and cold neutrons in the new generation of neutron detectors. For the European Spallation Source (ESS), sited in Lund, Sweden, which is planned to be operational in 2019, and the world's leading source for the study of materials with neutrons by 2025, novel neutron detectors represent a critical technology that needs to be developed. The discussion here is based upon B-10 based thin-film detectors for neutron scattering science; however such a development is generalisable to other converter materials and potentially relevant to applications outside of neutron scattering science.
