Neutron TGEM Detector Abdel

Haithem's logbook for developing neutron sensitive TGEM detector

1.) Search the web for patent which coats GEM detector with neutron sensitive materials. I think it is for Thermal neutrons.

A boron coated GEM foil is being made by the company below http://n-cdt.com/

Another method uses BF3.

We are interested in a fissionable material coated onto the copper foils that is thin enough to allow the fission fragments to escape the foil and ionize the gas in the detector.
