BSS is proposed in two main configurations, adjustable according to the requirements, for single or multiple detectors.
An unfolding software (RUFUS), used to calculate the neutron spectrum, is also available for both configurations. Each proportional counter is connected to a compact electronic module (2.5 cm diam. x 7.6 cm), providing:

A user-friendly dedicated acquisition software can be installed on the PC managing the BSS, allowing the user to start and stop the measurements, to modify the parameters and to visualize the saved data. The BSS standard set, designed to cover the neutron energy range from 1 meV to < 100 MeV, includes the following HDPE moderators: Ø 3”, Ø 3.5”, Ø 4”, Ø 4.5”, Ø 5”, Ø 6”, Ø 7”, Ø 8”, Ø 10”, Ø 12”, Ø 15”, Ø 18”. |
