Abstract
In this paper, we report on a tabletop experiment studying neutron scattering in a Spherical Proportional Counter using an Am-Be source. Systematic studies were carried out to investigate the effect of gas mixture, pressure, operating voltage, and sphere size on the drift time-rise time relationship of the signal in a spherical proportional counter. Our experimental results showed good agreement with MagBoltz-based simulations. These findings are a crucial step towards measuring the quenching factor in gases using a neutron beam for the New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) experiment and has important implications for the development of neutron detection techniques and their potential applications in nuclear and particle physics.
