A gaseous scintillation detector consisting of a 3He+CF4 filled MSGC detector coupled with an optical readout has been investigated for an application for high-resolution and high counting rate position-sensitive neutron detector. Measurements of the photons' emission as a function of the gas mixture have been carried out indicating that filling the detector with 3He+CF4 is a very good choice also from the poin...
The time structure of light pulses from GEM detectors operated in scintillation mode with He/CF4 mixtures, previously used with integrating readout devices for neutron detection, has been investigated. A system using photomultipliers (PMs) and charge preamplifiers coupled to a fast digitizer has been used to measure simultaneously both the charge and light signals of the avalanches and the dependence of these s...
We report on the optical readout of the gas electron multiplier (GEM) operated with a gaseous mixture suitable for the detection of thermal neutrons: 3He-CF4. A CCD system operating in the 400-1000 nm band was used to collect the light. Spectroscopic data on the visible and NIR scintillation of He-CF4 are presented. Images of the tracks of the proton and triton recorded with a triple GEM detector are also shown...
