Neutron detection is increasingly vital in various fields such as homeland security, medical
sciences, and high-energy physics. However, interference from accompanying gamma rays …

This study proposes a novel, highly sensitive neutron detector design utilizing a unique multi-
layered configuration. Each layer consists of a LiF: ZnS (Ag) scintillator coupled with a …

An important aspect of radiation detection in scintillators is the time dependence of emitted
fluorescence, which results in characteristic measured pulse shape. In some materials, a …

Neutron detection with directional sensitivity is an increasingly sought-after technology in
nuclear safety and security. To keep the nuclear material secure, an accurate assessment of …

This chapter introduces the physical concepts that underline the making and
characterization of plastic-scintillator-based, slow neutron detectors. For this purpose, we …

Neutron detectors are required for effective detection of special nuclear materials (SNM). In
the past, gaseous neutron detectors, such as He-3, were utilized as the primary means of …

Fissionable materials can be distinguished from normal materials by their emission of fast
neutrons and neutrons moderated by surrounding materials. Radioisotopes can often be …
