The performance of neutron tomography facility at the Thai Research Reactor TRR-1/M1 is studied. Thermal neutron beams with a flux of 106 n/cm2/s are employed to radiate on a standard sample, so-called Strip B, in the test. The neutron irradiating on samples were detected by a neutron-to-photon conversion plate. After that, the low-energy photons were guided to a charge coupled device (CCD) to obtain a digital image. During the experiment, a rotation stage was used to rotate the sample in order to measure the attenuated/scatted neutrons at different angles with respect to the sample geometry. The angle-varied images were then processed via a reconstruction software to create a 3-dimension (3D) image (tomography). The result shows that an image of 0.5 mm-diameter cadmium wire could be observed by employing our facility, but the sharpness of the 3D image is still needed to be further improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
