Analytical modeling of thin film neutron converters and its application to thermal neutron gas detectors

Abstract

A simple model is explored mainly analytically to calculate and understand the PHS of single and multi-layer thermal neutron detectors and to help optimize the design in different circumstances. Several theorems are deduced that can help guide the design.
