Neutron sources in the Czech Republic for calibration and testing of ESA-compliant neutron sensitive devices

This project is devoted to the study of the neutron facilities in Czech Republic as calibrated and ESA complying stations. We evaluate their technical parameters with view of ESA needs and determine improvements and upgrades necessary to reach/expand these facilities. The goal is to offer service for space oriented needs in neutron detector testing and calibration as well as studies of radiation hardness.
