| 发明名称 | Neutron detection based on energy spectrum characteristics | ||
| 摘要 | A neutron detector includes a coincidence detector to detect coincidence events in which each coincidence event indicates proximity in time of a first signal and a second signal. The first signal indicates detection of at least one of a neutron or a gamma ray, and the second signal indicates detection of a gamma ray by a gamma ray detector. A data processor identifies detection of neutron radiation based on characteristics of an energy spectrum of the gamma rays associated with the second signals that correspond to the coincidence signals. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method comprising generating coincidence signals each indicating proximity in time of a first signal and a second signal, the first signal indicating detection of at least one of a neutron or a gamma ray, the second signal indicating detection of a gamma ray; after the coincidence signals are generated, analyzing an energy spectrum of the gamma rays associated with the second signals that correspond to the coincidence signals; and generating a detection signal indicating detection of neutron radiation when characteristics of the energy spectrum of the gamma rays associated with the second signals that correspond to the coincidence signals match characteristics of an energy spectrum of gamma rays associated with a neutron event. | ||
