ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting fast neutrons of energy greater than 5 MeV is provided. The method includes providing a neutron detector including a plate having plurality of detection sites disposed thereon which produce an electron output. The neutron detector is directly coupled to an electron detector without an intermediate scintillator layer. The detector is positioned so that neutrons are incident on the detector and the output of the electron detector is detected.
