ABSTRACT:
A neutron sensor comprises stacks of multi-layered segments. Each segment includes a first layer having a variable energy threshold for varying the sensitivity of the layer to low energy recoil protons. Immediately adjacent the threshold layer are two directional layers which produce output signals dependent upon the energy loss of recoil protons passing therethrough. The output signals generate a pattern which corresponds to the direction of neutron flow through the sensor.
