International Classification:

G01T 1/20

US Classification:

250366, 250367, 25036301

Abstract:

The gamma-radiation module includes a housing having a box-like container and a cover for hermetically sealing a pair of cylinders within the housing. Each cylinder includes scintillation material and a photomultiplier tube on a common cylindrical axis. The hermetically sealed module may be used singly or in multiple modules in portal applications whereby gamma-radiation from a source may be detected through a gamma-radiation transparent cover on the module.

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

G01T 3/00

US Classification:

250391, 25039001

Abstract:

A B neutron detector and an associated method of detecting neutrons. The detector includes an exterior shell bounding and sealing an interior volume, a neutron-sensitive boron coating located on at least part of the exterior shell at the interior volume. One of the boron coating and the exterior shell serves as a cathode, and a central structure located within the interior volume and serves as an anode. The detector includes gas within the interior volume that conducts an electrical energy pulse between the cathode and the anode in response to a neutron impinging upon the neutron-sensitive boron coating. The gas includes a quantity of He gas sensitive to neutron impingement and generating an electrical energy pulse for reception by the anode in response to a neutron impinging upon the He gas. The method includes detecting at least one neutron via impingement of the neutron upon the He gas.
