Abstract :
A novel type of bubble detector is developed which can measure neutron fluences on the order of 1011 n/cm2 (or a few grays). These detectors use superheated droplets which are much smaller than those in conventional bubble detectors. Preliminary studies involving several types of these microdroplet detectors having different neutron energy thresholds have been performed. The goal is to develop a set of such detectors which can be used as a simple neutron spectrometer needed in connection with TREE applications
