Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for detection of radiation, including: a method and apparatus for detection of fast and/or thermal neutrons; a method and apparatus for detection of neutrons in high backgrounds of gamma rays; a method and apparatus having high sensitivity and/or high gamma discrimination; a method and apparatus including a given single material that can detect fast neutrons and simultaneously detect gamma rays with moderate energy resolution. Liquid, viscous liquid, gel, and/or solid scintillating materials. A scintillating matrix, such as a liquid, having a highly polar matrix, such as a liquid solvent, dissolved dyes, and a high concentration of a dissolved organo metallic compound. The use of a single material for a large area detector of fast neutrons and gamma rays can provide material and cost benefits.
