3 6 Li-based fluence monitor (FM) detection efficiency 6 Li deposit Neutron beam ( ) Detected + t ( ) wavelength Absorbed neutrons Neutron absorption probability, t detection probability
4 CALCULATED from measured detector solid angle ( ), measured foil areal density ( ), and evaluated thermal neutron cross section ( ) of target material: -Method used for each published lifetime, best achieved uncertainty is 0.3% OR MEASURED with a second, totally absorbing neutron detector used on a monochromatic oc o atc beamline e -Alpha-Gamma (AG) device (completed, achieved 0.06% uncertainty) - 3 He gas scintillation chamber (device under construction) -Liquid 3 He target radiometer (device under construction)

11 Calibration of Alpha-Gamma as a black detector 1. Measure the absolute activity i of an alpha source 2. Use this source to determine solid angle of alpha detector 3. Use an (n, ) reaction to transfer the calibration to the (, ) gamma detectors
12 Calibrate the -source 1 PIPS detector Diamond-turned copper aperture 239 Pu -source measured in stack of known solid angle - source activity determined from measured -rate and known stack stack Scatter-suppressing precision spacer Pu source spot
13 2 Calibrate the -detector with -source Source loaded into AG vacuum chamber and counted - known source activity gives detector 239 Pu
14 3 Calibrate the -detectors 239 Pu replaced with thin 10 B foil, beam on -n + 10 B 7 Li + + (b = 93.70(1)%) -Observed gamma rate and neutron rate (determined from alpha rate) give gamma efficiency
15 4 Measure neutron rate Thin foil replaced with thick 10 B foil - all neutrons absorbed -observed gamma rate and established gamma efficiency determine incident neutron rate To calibrate the FM, step 3 (calibrating the gamma detectors) and step 4 (measuring neutron rate) are repeated many times with the FM upstream
16 Or, more rigorously 239 Thick target Pu counting 1/ /FM R Pu Thin target 1/ / Wavelength R In practice, and Pu are measured infrequently Every efficiency measurement has its own measurements of /FM and /

21 Thin 10 B target spectra - n + 10 B 7 Li + + ~8 s -1 per detector
22 Thick 10 B target spectra - n + 10 B 7 Li + + ~200 s -1 per detector
23 Statistical accumulation Three sets of data with different beam sizes yields three efficiency measurements with different systematics Uncorrecte ed 8.4 mm 10.5 mm 7.2 mm

27 Uncertainty budget
28 The path to 0.01% Sources of uncertainty that must be addressed in a 0.01% 01% calibration: Statistical uncertainty (0.032%) 239 Pu source counting uncertainties (0.031%) Wavelength determination i (0.024%) 024%) Beam spot corrections to solid angle (AG %, FM 0.009%) -attenuation in thick (0.023%) and thin (0.012%) targets
29 Effects that require more measurement time Wavelength measurement (0.024%) determine cause of point spread, G.L. Hansen measurement achieved 0.006% uncertainty Beam spot corrections to solid angle (AG 0 015%, FM 0 009%) Beam spot corrections to solid angle (AG 0.015%, FM 0.009%) more beam images, better control and assessment of image background
30 Effects that have been resolved 239Pu source counting uncertainties (0.031%) limited by uncertainty in source calibration stack solid angle (0.03%) new stack characterization with better aperture and improved metrology techniques achieved 0.007% uncertainty
31 Effects addressed in an apparatus rebuild Statistical uncertainty (0.032%) build apparatus that accepts a much larger beam (~35 mm diameter) -attenuation in thick (0.023%) and thin (0.012%) targets new apparatus has only front-facing HPGe detectors
32 Upgraded experiment setup Beam shaped by 40 mm and 35 mm dia. collimators 60 mm dia. targets on 76 mm dia. substrates 6 LiF target - 5 g/cm 2 areal density Thin 10 B target 30 g/cm 2 areal density

34 Projections Assuming beam flux of 1.0 x 10 6 n/cm 2 s and a 35 mm diameter beam: 105 s -1 total rate in FM 875 s -1 total -rate in AG 52 s -1 total -rate with thin target 2760 s -1 total t -rate t with thik thick targett Approximately 55 three-day cycles of thin-thick-thin target in Alpha-Gamma to 0.01% 01%
35 Conclusions The Alpha-Gamma method has been successfully used to determine the absolute detection efficiency of a 6 Li-based fluence monitor to 0.06% 06% uncertainty Calibration of the monitor is statistics-limited and the systematic effects are well understood Statistical uncertainty can be addressed with off the shelf items and well Statistical uncertainty can be addressed with off-the-shelf items and welldeveloped techniques no R & D required
