Development of neutron detectors for use in radiation protection

How do you detect neutron radiation?
Elastic scattering reactions (also referred to as proton-recoil) - High energy neutrons are typically detected indirectly through elastic scattering reactions.
Neutrons collide with the nuclei of atoms in the detector, transferring energy to those nuclei and creating ions, which are detected.
What is the construction of a neutron detector?
Directional Neutron Scintillating Fiber Detector
The detector consists of a fiber bundle constructed of polystyrene plastic scintillating fibers with acrylic cladding.
Each fiber is 10 cm in length and 0.3 or 0.5 mm in diameter.
What are the applications of neutron detectors?
Neutron detection covers a wide variety of applications in nuclear physics, in neutron scattering for biological, chemical, medical, and material analysis research, in metrology, in radiation protection, in nuclear energy and in the nuclear fuel cycle, in reactor instrumentation, in nuclear decommissioning and nuclear
Our best neutron detector for general use
The TN15 high sensitivity thermal neutron detector utilizes a state-of-the-art silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and offers world-leading specification in a compact form.
The TN15 surpasses the performance of a 100mm long 13mm³ He tube at 4 atmospheres.
