ABSTRACT:
A neutron detector for use in high energy flux environments. Multiple stacked arrays of biased Si PIN diodes are provided with adjustable lower and upper energy detection thresholds. Shielding along the sides and back of the detector limits the sensing to along the forward line of sight of the detector, and a short time gate limits sensing of an individual cell to a single event.
