  • Methods for manufacturing lithium foil neutron detectors
    Patent number: 11092704
    Abstract: A system and method for making a neutron detector includes stacking anode frames and laminated frames to form a detector insert. The laminated frames are formed by laminating a foil of neutron-responsive material to an aluminum frame plated with a metal that does not react with the neutron-responsive material. The anode frames include an anode wire tensioned to a predetermined tension. The anode wires are electrically coupled to a top lid that includes an electrical connector and a gas feed through. The top lid is pressed into a tank with the detector insert.
    Type: Grant
