| Abstract | Energy resolved neutron imaging has developed rapidly due to
its advantage on testing the inner structure of crystal
samples. Neutron detector is one of the key components to determine
the imaging results quality. The neutron sensitive microchannel
plate (nMCP) has been widely used in energy resolved neutron imaging
experiments because of the high spatial and timing
resolution. However, the ability to adjust field-of-view (FOV) and
spatial resolution has not been realized in the nMCP detector, which
is an attractive capability in energy resolved neutron imaging
experiments. In this paper, an energy resolved neutron imaging
detector was developed by coupling nMCP with a time stamping
camera. The neutrons were absorbed by nMCP and converted into light
through a phosphor screen. Then the light was focused on the camera
by optical lens. A data algorithm was designed to improve the data
quality. By changing the magnification of the optical lens, large
FOV (46mm diameter) and high spatial resolution (26 μm) were
realized in the experiments at CSNS beamline 20. The energy resolved
ability was demonstrated by a Bragg-edge transmission imaging
experiment for aluminum and stainless-steel samples. The performance
of this detector makes it a promising candidate used in energy
resolved neutron imaging. |
