Abstract

The development of a digital tool dedicated for the test and the simulation of a reading system for neutron detection is presented. This study takes place in the framework of the I_SMART^* European project. This system will have to work in harsh environment in terms of temperature and radiations what makes necessary the development of specifications for operation and reliability of the components and also the investigation of margins of interplay of the components. The specifications of the implemented tool are presented here with the different results of simulation related to the input designed parameters of the readout system.
