Abstract
This chapter concerns the detection of neutrons having thermal and epithermal energies in the range 0.0002–10 eV (20–0.1 Å). Topics covered include neutron capture, neutron detection processes and electronic aspects of neutron detection. Typical detection systems and their characteristics are described. This chapter is also available as HTML from the International Tables Online site hosted by the IUCr.
