Description
MultiGrid (MG) technology has been developed as alternative to 3He for
neutron detection - partly due to the increasing cost and availability
of Helium, and partly to access the high rates anticipated at new
facilities like ESS (European Spallation Source). MG was first developed
over 10 years ago, and has been used in several tests, but the T-REX
bispectral chopper spectrometer will be the first large scale detector
to be fully instrumented with MultiGrid. The T-REX MG detector is
currently being constructed in Lund, Sweden, and will be installed ready
for initial beam tests at ESS on 2027. This talk presents the design,
development and construction of the MultiGrid detector.
