A prototype detector for directional measurement of the cosmogenic neutron flux

This paper describes a novel directional neutron detector. The low pressure time projection chamber uses a mix of helium and CF[subscript 4] gases. The detector reconstructs the energy and angular distribution of fast neutron recoils. This paper reports results of energy calibration using an α sourc...
