neutron detectors

Neutron detectors are devices used to identify and measure neutrons, which are uncharged particles found in atomic nuclei. These detectors play a crucial role in various fields, including nuclear physics, radiation safety, and national security. They work by capturing neutrons and converting their presence into a measurable signal, often using materials that react with neutrons to produce charged particles or gamma rays. Neutron detectors are essential for monitoring nuclear materials, detecting radiation in safety applications, and conducting scientific research, helping to ensure safety and security in environments where neutron radiation may be present.
