Position-Sensitive (Imaging) Detector of Neutron
Del Mar Ventures supply state of the art Neutron Imaging Detector
NID2000.
Neutron Position-Sensitive detection is realized by registration of luminescence generated
by neutrons passing Gd-doped screen using MCP
based image intensifier and CCD detector. NID2000 detects neutron fields in real time
and can be used for many "on-line" (in field) monitoring applications.
