The invention relates to a neutron detector unit for neutrons, in particular thermal and cold neutrons, comprising a detector housing (), cathode elements and a plurality of anode elements (), wherein in order to form a volume detector unit the anode elements () and the cathode elements enable a three-dimensional spatial resolution for conversion events, characterized by a converter gas in the detector housing (). According to the invention, in a neutron detector arrangement which includes at least one neutron detector unit the neutron detector unit () or at least one of the neutron detector units () is oriented in such a way that at least some of the anode elements () of the at least one neutron detector unit () extend at least predominantly in a longitudinal orientation parallel or almost parallel to the direction of travel of the neutrons () to be detected.
