  1. Final Remarks

  2. Workshop program

  3. Remarks • Large synergies with other neutron detectors: MONSTER, DESCANT • Continuous feed back from gamma spectroscopy arrays: AGATA, GALILEO, EXOGAM2, PARIS • Electronics coupling • Final geometry • Importance of charged particle detectors, TRACE, DIAMANT • Physics need of neutron detectors • Interest of the gamma spectroscopy groups (2n,3n) • Reaction + FARCOS (energy information, angular) • Good understanding of the simulations • First test and comparison with simulations Very good agreement! • Unitary cell size and global geometry for NEDA • Mechanics for NEDA (D. Jenkins will start discussion with J. Simpson, Daresbury) • Electronics: Synergies between different detectors: EXOGAM2, NEDA, PARIS, DIAMANT

  4. BC501A and BC537 detectors Currently bought commercial detectors from Saint Gobain • Two detectors 5”x5” BC537 (LNL-INFN) • Two detectors 5”x5” BC501A (York-Valencia) A. Pipidis (founded SP2PP) working on the characterization of the detectors.

  5. Following steps • Test of the prototype BC501A in Valencia/LNL/Warsaw/Uppsala • Efficiency • Cross talk • … • SIPM tests with neutron detectors – Synergies with PARIS (D. Jenkins) • Decission before April/May 2011 on the FADC needed for NEDAM. Tripon • Steering Committee decision on the final geometry for NEDA • Steering Committee decision on the liquid scintilator to be used • Steering Committee phases of NEDA • Final MoU November 2011.

  6. Phases of NEDA The current development on new materials and readout systems for neutron detection makes necessary to build NEDA in four different phases: • Phase 0: Upgrade of Neutron Wall with digital electronics. • Phase 1: R&D on new material and light readout systems for a highly segmented neutron detector array. • Phase 3: Construction of a limited size Demonstrator  • Phase 4: Final construction of NEDA

  7. Budget issues • Three main options: • 200 detectors BC501A – PM readout –Digital electronics • Total cost: 600K€ (BC501A) + 200K€(Elec.) + 40K€ (mechanics) = 840 K€ • 200 detectors BC536 – PM readout – Digital electronics • Total cost: 2000K€ (BC537) + 200K€(Elec.) + 40K€ (mechanics) = 2240 K€ • Upgrade Neutron Wall - Phase 0 (Digital electronics) • Total cost (50 channels) = 40K€
