Abstract :
Neutrons with the initial energy of 14 MeV produced by the neutron generator of the Department of Reactor Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden, were detected by a camera system in connection with scintillator screens. Images were produced for 14 MeV and moderated neutrons with suited scintillator screens. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations were made to characterize the performance of the experimental setup.
