MSND® Tile Data Sheet
Neutron detector applications include homeland security, such as border screening, portable / handheld instruments where low power is critical, fundamental research, such as neutron scattering beamlines; and industrial monitoring, such as neutron backscatter instruments, personnel monitoring and measuring water content in soil.
Solid-state neutron detectors provide an alternative to 3He-based detectors, maintaining a high thermal-neutron detection efficiency at a fraction of the volume, mass, voltage, and power required from gas or liquid detectors.
Recommend AC coupling to electronic readout circuit.
