Abstract: A neutron detector includes a microchannel plate having a structure that defines a plurality of microchannels, and layers of materials disposed on walls of the microchannels. The layers include a layer of neutron sensitive material, a layer of semiconducting material, and a layer of electron emissive material. For example, the layer of neutron sensitive material can include boron-10, lithium-6, or gadolinium.

Abstract: A neutron detecting device using a neutron-reactive material as the source of charged particles to feed conventional dynode-based electron multiplier which not gas-filled (i.e., with 3He). The detector comprises a neutron-reacting material that produces charged particles, coupled with an electron multiplier that is known for use in photomultipliers. The neutron-reacting material is deposited on a substrate at the entrance to the electron multiplier. Charged particles from the neutron-reacting material impinge on the first dynode of the electron multiplier, where, in turn, electrons are generated. The secondary electrons are collected by a second dynode, and the charge so collected is amplified in each succeeding dynode stage in a cascade effect. The charge pulse from the anode is processed by subsequent pulse processing electronics and counting electronics to provide a count rate that is proportional to the neutron flux incident on the neutron-reacting material.
