Title: First Measurements of the Inclined Boron Layer Thermal-Neutron Detector for Reflectometry

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
OSTI ID:972023

A prototype detector based on the inclined boron layer principle is introduced. For typical measurement conditions at the Liquids Reflectometer at the Spallation Neutron Source, its count rate capability is shown to be superior to that of the current detector by nearly two orders of magnitude.
