Abstract Scope |
In recent years, there have been considerable advances in the fabrication of solid state neutron detectors. Historically, solid state detectors have suffered from low efficiency in comparison to scintillation and proportional counter based detectors. Exotic geometries have been proposed with the goal of increasing the efficiency of the indirect conversion scheme. In addition to non-conventional indirect detector geometries, there has been considerable work in recent years in the fabrication of direct conversion materials with intrinsically high efficiencies. This review paper will highlight some of the recent advances in both direct and indirect conversion mechanisms for neutron detection. |
