Abstract:

A detector of bursts of neutrons from a deuterium-deuteron reaction includes a quantity of arsenic adjacent a gamma detector such as a scintillator and photomultiplier tube. The arsenic is activated by the 2. 5 Mev neutrons to release gamma radiation which is detected to give a quantitative representation of detected neutrons.
