Abstract
An arrangement for detecting neutrons. A first neutron detector includes at least some helium, and may include some Helium-3. The first neutron detector has an associated gain performance. A second neutron detector includes at least some helium. The second neutron detector may include some Helium-3 and may include some Helium-4. The second neutron detector has an associated gain performance. In an aspect, the gain performance of the second neutron detector matches the gain performance of the first neutron detector. In an aspect, the amount of all helium of the second detector is the same as the amount of all helium in the first detector. In an aspect, at least one of the first and second detectors includes at least some additional, different neutron-sensitive substance. In an aspect, at least one of the first and second detectors includes some Boron-10 as the additional, different neutron-sensitive substance.
