BLOSM: Boron-based large-scale observation of soil moisture: First laboratory results of a cost-efficient neutron detector

A newly developed Boron-based Large-scale Observation of Soil Moisture (or BLOSM) system is currently being tested and implemented. The stationary system provides a cost-effective way to measure fast and thermalized neutrons by using low-cost, non–hazardous and accessible materials and equipment. BL...
