DUAL Detection Gamma-ray and Neutron

Some applications, particularly in homeland security, require detection of both neutron and gamma radiation. This has routinely been accomplished with a combination of two separate detectors.

The Old Way:

Gamma and neutron measurements have been made using separate detectors placed in close proximity to each other. The industry reference is Sodium Iodide for Gamma and high-pressure Helium 3 tubes for neutron detection.

A New Way:

Recently, new scintillators have been developed that can provide detection of both gamma-ray and neutron. This allows for the reduction of the number of signal chains needed in specific applications (Security, PGNAA).
