- Abstract
Purpose: Back-n is a white neutron beamline at China spallation neutron source, which was established in the year of 2018. It is a powerful facility for nuclear data measurement, neutron detector calibration, and radiation effect research. Method: A series of detectors were built for different experiments, including beam monitoring, beam profile measurement, neutron induced secondaries (fission fragments, light charged particles and gamma) cross section measurement, and neutron resonance radiography, etc. A common digitization electronics and a cluster-based DAQ were developed for these detector systems. Most detectors have been employed at Back-n and serviced for experiments from the beginning of the beamline running. Results and conclusion: As an overview of detectors of Back-n, the details of the detector design and the experiment performing are described in this paper. Some developing systems, e.g., MTPC and B-MCP, are also included.
