Neutron Imaging Camera, Process and Apparatus for Detection of Special Materials

摘要

Systems, processes, and apparatus are described through which fast neutrons are detected, their momenta are measured and a position of a source of the fast neutrons is determined from the measured momenta. For example, a multiple-cell neutron-sensitive camera is described. Each cell includes a neutron detection cell that also functions as a time expansion chamber and a micro-well detector coupled to the time expansion chamber.
