Description

The first part of the course will cover thermal neutron detection techniques in general, and a few specific physical readout techniques much used at the ILL in particular. X-Y readout, delay lines and resistive charge division will be handled. The second part will talk about the principles of resistive charge division and the noise concepts which play a role in the front-end electronics. A third part will tackle back-end digital processing techniques in charge division, and others, focusing on FPGA settings.
