Abstract:
1. A method for providing a neutron detector tube, the method comprising: applying a conductive layer to at least a portion of an inner surface of a non-conductive cathode tube associated with a neutron detector, wherein the at least a portion of the inner surface extends to a first end of the tube and stops short of a second end; applying a neutron sensitive cathode coating to at least a portion of the conductive layer; sealing a first portion of the neutron detector tube with a cathode cap; and sealing a second portion of the neutron detection tube with a non-conductive anode cap, wherein sealing the second portion of the neutron detector tube comprises sealing a second portion interface between the non-conductive anode cap and a non-conductive portion of the cathode tube with a glass seal.
