The Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) is a 159-element 4π barium fluoride array designed to study neutron capture on small quantities, 1 mg or less, of radioactive nuclides. It is being built on a 20 m neutron flight path which views the “upper tier” water moderator at the Manuel J. Lujan Jr. Neutron Scattering Center at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The detector design is based on Monte Carlo calculations which have suggested ways to minimize backgrounds due to neutron scattering events. A data acquisition system based on fast transient digitizers is being implemented. © 2003 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
