Abstract

Due to the very limited availability of 3He, new kinds of neutron detectors, not based on 3He, are urgently needed. Here, we present a method to produce thin films of 10B4C, with maximized detection efficiency, intended to be part of a new generation of large area neutron detectors. B4C thin films h...
