Fine Powder Proportional Counters for Neutron Detection

A novel neutron detection approach is presented, consisting of a neutron sensitive aerosol obtained by dispersing B4C fine powder in a gaseous proportional counter operating in continuous flow, which proved to effectively detect thermal neutrons. This technique shows potential to be an affordable al...
