Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture ExperimentsDANCE is designed to study neutron capture reactions on small quantities, on the order of 1mg, of radioactive or rare stable nuclei. These reactions are important in weapons physics, radiochemistry, and element formation in stars. DANCE’s unique 4π geometry allows measurement of the total gamma-ray energy emitted following neutron capture. When compared to existing neutron capture measurements, this enables a significant advance in detector sensitivity and allows a much more accurate understanding of the detection efficiency. Experiments can be done at neutron energies from thermal to about 100 keV.
