Abstract

We examine a proposal about neutron detection using MgB₂ superconductor. For the purpose, we perform computer simulations for the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled with the temperature diffusion equation derived from the energy conservation law and simulate dynamics of "hot-spot" nucleated by neutron absorption in superconductor MgB ₂. The simulations reveal basic principles required for the neutron detection.
