Abstract
An apparatus and method utilize a neutron sensitive medium in which initially existing atoms of the medium are divided into particles, reaction energy and neutron energy. The medium undergoes polarization in response to the reaction energy and the neutron energy. This produces an electrical charge gradient which is proportional to the energies and which can be sensed and analyzed to indicate just the neutron energy.
