Abstract
The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of neutron detection, and it relates to a structure for slow neutron detection and a method for energy spectrum measurement of slow neutrons, wherein the structure for slow neutron detection comprises: a shielding barrel, which is configured as square with an opening; and a detector unit, which is a slow neutron detector with position resolution function, wherein the detector unit is completely wrapped in the shielding barrel, and the detector unit is placed close to one of the sides of the shielding barrel that is perpendicular to the open side of the shielding barrel. When the structure for slow neutron detection moves at a set speed, the incident energy spectrum of slow neutrons can be inversely extrapolated on the basis of the number of slow neutrons at different depths.
