Basic principles of neutron instrumentation
Neutron instrumentation of the EPR reactor

Neutron instrumentation must enable the conversion of a particle flux into a transportable electrical quantity that can be measured conventionally.

It is therefore necessary to design a particle detector based on the preferred mode of interaction of the particles you wish to detect with this detector. This initial interaction will be used to collect charged particles and generate signals whose characteristics can be traced back to the amplitude of the particle flow on the detector.
