Description

3He-based gaseous neutron detectors have demonstrated adaptability across a wide range of applications, from elementary particle physics to neutron imaging. Depending on experimental requirements, detector volumes range from a few centiliters to several hundred liters. This work presents the development of a 3-meter-high two-dimensional Multitube detector designed for the Cold Chopper Spectrometer (CSPEC) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector design builds on the expertise of the Neutron Detector Service (SDN) at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in constructing meter-scale position-sensitive detectors with spatial resolutions of a few centimeters. Following the completion of the first Multitube module, measurements performed at the CT2 beamline at the ILL demonstrated the expected detector performance while validating the production process for the remaining twelve modules.
