Development and application of a neutron sensor for single event effects analysis

The development and application of a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor for neutron detection is described. The sensor provides images of neutron-induced single-event effects (SEEs) at 9 μm pixel resolution and a charge/pixel resolution of typically 36.6 electronic charges. Example results are presented, showing the charge profiles resulting from single events observed during tests in a representative neutron spectrum. The sensor enables aspects of SEE phenomena to be studied directly in more detail than hitherto.
