Abstract
The present invention provides a cellular thermal neutron detector, comprising: a cellular structure comprised of one or more hollow regular hexagonal prism-shaped cellular units, wherein a neutron absorbing material is coated on an inner side of a pipe wall of each of the cellular units. Since the neutron-sensitive cellular structure is employed, the present invention can perform thermal neutron detection without using the scarce nuclide 3He, and effectively reduce the manufacture costs of the thermal neutron detector. Further, the present invention has characteristics such as a reduced or eliminated neutron detecting dead zone.
