Abstract:
A phoswich neutron detection system with at least two scintillators, each having differing pulse shape characteristics, and an optical detector, and neutron spectroscopy capability.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for detecting neutrons, the method comprising:\n (1) exposing a neutron detector comprising a plurality of scintillators, each having differing pulse shape characteristics, and an optical detector, to an area of interest, (2) detecting a signal, if present, from the optical detector, and then (3) analyzing the signal using a spectral unfolding technique to separate underlying signals arising from thermal neutrons, fast neutrons, and photons.
