Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a boron-lined neutron detector having a cathode and an anode, the cathode being sensitive to neutron impingement to cause current at the anode that provides for neutron detection, the method including: providing a boron-containing material; providing water; mixing the boron-containing material into the water to create a water-based liquid mixture; providing a substrate of the cathode of the neutron detector; applying the water-based liquid mixture to the substrate of the cathode at a location for neutron impingement to cause the current at the anode that provides for neutron detection; removing water from the water-based liquid applied to the substrate to leave a boron-containing layer upon the substrate that is sensitive to the neutron impingement to cause the current at the anode.
