[edit] The Topic

My interest in neutron detection comes from my summer and semester research (still ongoing) at Jefferson Lab. I am doing research in developing methods for better detection analysis. Just thought I should share something I know of the general approach, since nothing had been said about it before.

[edit] Related AfD

For anyone watching this article, I advise looking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theory, Design and Calibration of a BF3 Tube Neutron Detector. Theory, Design and Calibration of a BF3 Tube Neutron Detector is a recently created but now abandonned article which at the least needs cleanup and whose notability is hard to assess. --EMS | Talk 18:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relevance?

This article describes one setup in considerable detail. How applicable is it to neutron detection in general? Sho Uemura 03:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Rogerthebadger 21:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy

Neutron detection is not necessarily used at any other facility where criticality might occur - most Criticality Incident Detection Systems (CIDS) only detect the associated gamma pulse.

Detection of fast neutrons is a challenge - they tend not to stop in the detector until you slow them down a bit. Rogerthebadger 21:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
