Abstract

In this paper we describe the principles that have guided our design and the experience we have gained building multi-wire proportional chambers detectors for the ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). Simple robust detectors with 50 cm² of active area have been designed. These have been used both in ion chamber and proportional mode for the detection of UCN.
