  • Neutron detection
    Patent number: 9651688
    Abstract: A method for detecting a neutron includes providing a first voltage to an input electrode of a microchannel plate, providing a second voltage to an output electrode of the microchannel plate, the second voltage being more positive than the first voltage, measuring a signal on the output electrode, and detecting a neutron based on a comparison of the signal at the output electrode with a baseline value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2017
    Assignee: Nova Scientific, Inc.
    Inventors: Jon H. Chappell, W. Bruce Feller
