Signal response of bare and moderated cosmic-ray neutron sensors to varying soil and biomass conditions

Abstract. Since the first development of hectometre-scale soil moisture estimation using epithermal neutron intensity from moderated Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensors (CRNS), researchers have hypothesize that concurrent lower‑energy, thermal neutron measurements with bare (unmoderated)...

Solution-processed flexible neutron converter foils

Abstract The cost increase of helium-3 has sparked the development of alternative detection technologies, specifically the use of boron carbide converters is one of the pillars of next-generation neutron detectors. While producing high-quality films, sputter-coating is limited in...
