Abstract :
The design and performance of a boron-coated ionization chamber for the detection of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) are presented. We detect UCN from the solid deuterium-based UCN source at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Our results indicate comparable efficiency to 3He ionization chambers and proportional counters currently used at the UCN source. In addition, the ion chamber is used to detect thermal neutrons; a comparison of the thermal neutron and UCN pulse-height spectra indicates that UCN mostly capture near the layer surface.
