Abstract

Research and development on alternative thermal neutron detection technologies and methods arenowadays needed as a possible replacement of 3He-based ones. Commercial solid state silicon detectors,coupled with neutron converter layers containing 6Li, have been proved to represent a viable solution forseveral applications as present in the literature. In order to better understand the detailed operation andthe response and efciency of such detectors, a series of dedicated GEANT4 simulations were performedand compared with real data collected in a few different congurations. The results show an excellentagreement between data and simulations, indicating that the behavior of the detector is fully understood.
