Description

Some nuclear reactions on nuclei in neutron detector structural details even so as aluminium are induced with energy increasing. Nuclear reactions induced by neutrons between 5 and 20 MeV energy are under consideration. They causes background events in gaseous and scintillation detectors with $^3$He, $^7$Li and $^10$B isotopes. The events and neatron scattering and nucleus activation disturbs measurement results, leads to detector excitation without neutrons.
Interaction of neutron with an energy of more than 5 MeV with aluminum, silicon and oxygen nuclei as the main materials of new position-sensitive detector is considered. Interaction of neutron with converter nuclei: $^3$He, $^7$Li and $^10$B is considered also.
