Neutron Radiation Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

The basic principle of neutron detection was proposed in the twentieth century, especially G.F.Knoll compiled Radiation Detection And Measurement in 1979, including detailed in principles and methods of radiation detection and measurement on a variety of hot and fast neutrons. In recent decades there is not have a big breakthrough on the principle of neutron detection development, but there is a great improvement in the performance and scope of neutron detectors. Depending on the working principle of neutron detector, it is roughly divided into the following three: Gas detectors, Semiconductor detectors and Scintillator detector.
