Abstract
A ring neutron detector has been developed for a time-of-flight diffractometer based on linear scintillation detectors. Light is transported over an organic glass light guide with a diffuse reflector. This scheme makes it possible to collect more photons than are collected in detectors based on wavelength-shifting fibers and to use avalanche photodiodes (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes. Testing confirmed that these detectors could be used as an alternative for widely used proportional neutron counters filled with 3He.
