Neutron emission during the development of hadronic showers can be used to discriminate between electromagnetic and hadronic interacting particles impinging a calorimeter. A neutron detector based on a high efficiency 'active moderator' is presented and its performance is evaluated with the aid of Monte Carlo simulation.

Abstract
Neutron emission during the development of hadronic showers can be used to discriminate between electromagnetic and hadronic interacting particles impinging a calorimeter. A neutron detector based on a high efficiency 'active moderator' is presented and its performance is evaluated with the aid of Monte Carlo simulation.File in questo prodotto:
