Glass-panel 6 Li neutron detector
2012
We report on the development of a neutron detector utilizing solid enriched lithium, which has substantial neutron detection efficiency. The detector employs large, thin sheets of lithium in a gas-filled multi-wire proportional chamber (MWPC). Using low-cost design methods, readout electronics, and a small fraction of the already available enriched lithium available from Y-12/Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the amount of 3He equivalent detection capability for nuclear non-proliferation activities can be greatly increased.
