摘要：

Over the last decades He-3 filled proportional counter tubes were the working horse employed to serve as neutron counters especially in cases where large area coverage was required. Today the lack of He-3 demands the development of an alternative technology. Here we present a prototype neutron detector that is based on a concept with solid B-10 as neutron converter and aims for large area neutron detection applications. We report on first experimental results obtained with this prototype to demonstrate the feasibility and operational readiness of our concept. (C) 2012 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.
