Fast- and thermal-neutron detection with common NaI(Tl) detectors
Guntram Pausch, Achim Kreuels, Falko Scherwinski +5
Radionuclide Identification Devices (RIDs) or Backpack Radiation Detection Systems (BRDs) are often equipped with NaI(Tl) detectors. We demonstrate that such instruments could be p…
