| Abstract: | A single volume fission energy neutron detector is described herein. The
detector includes a single volume of scintillator. A photodetector is
positioned adjacent to a surface of the scintillator, wherein the
photodetector has relatively small spatial resolution corresponding
thereto and relatively small temporal resolution corresponding thereto.
Based upon values read out from detection bins of the photodetector,
kinematics of a neutron that interacted with scintillating material of
the scintillator are reconstructed. Based upon the kinematics (of the
neutron and other detected neutrons), a location of material from which
the neutron was emitted is ascertained, and an image of the material is
generated. |
