High Voltage Control of The Modular Neutron Array

The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) is a high efficiency, large area neutron detector being completed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory for detection of neutron energies between 50MeV and 250MeV. MoNA is comprised of 144 scintillating detector modules in a nine by sixteen configuration and stands 0.9m × 2.0m × 1.6m. Two high voltage power supplies are used to provide the modules the potential needed to detect neutron events. An effective method of controlling these power supplies remotely is needed for use during developmental and experimental use of the detector. A C++ program was created to provide an adaptable user interface with the high voltage power supplies.
