“…• NEDA experiment (LNL,Na,Pa) is developing the neutron detector cells based on the BC501A and BC537(D) liquid scintillators [3]. Moreover, together with NewChim experiment (Ct,LNS) they are studying the response of the new EJ299-33A plastic scintillator [4].…”

“…This is because the small converter thickness <3 mg/cm 3 gives a high efficiency only at low energy. Proportional Counters (PC) or GEMs/MicroMegas may cover very large areas (many m 2 ), although in the case of 3 He active gas at high cost (∼6$/cm 3 /1 bar). The gas filled detectors are usually insensitive to γs (except for pile-up of many γs) because an average amount of energy deposited in the active volume by γ-induced event is significantly lower than that from the neutron capture.…”

“…The active gas converter (e.g. 3 He) gives a good calorimetric resolution on the neutron energy (>10 keV) at low energies. Most of gas filled detectors are known to be extremely radiation hard, except for B-GEM detectors whose reported limits on aging correspond to < 10 12 n/cm 2 .…”

“…Most of gas filled detectors are known to be extremely radiation hard, except for B-GEM detectors whose reported limits on aging correspond to < 10 12 n/cm 2 . 3 He tubes have a very low noise <10 −4 counts/s, making them suitable for underground experiments.…”

“…Thanks to their large area, good spacial resolution and low cost these detectors may succeed 3 He counters in the thermal neutron imaging applications. To this end the efficiency of these detectors is continuously improving and aging limits are extending.…”

Neutron detection is a broad field for fundamental research and applications. Its development is presently following an evolutionary scenario when the known detector technologies are being improved in their performances. Important advances are made by developing Pulse Shape Discrimination capable plastic and polysiloxane scintillators, which combine n/γ separation with handling simplicity of solid scintillators. GEM and MicroMega detectors promise to make a breakthrough in the neutron imaging applications, providing a good spacial resolution combined with a large detector area. Diamond detectors allow to exploit the semiconductor detector advantages in very high neutron fluxes of fission or fusion reactors. These and many other developments are ongoing and will be implemented in upcoming experiments and applied research facilities. INFN Workshop on Future Detectors for HL-LHC

The Shanghai laser electron gamma source (SLEGS) is a powerful tool for exploring photonuclear physics, such as giant dipole resonance (GDR) and pygmy dipole resonance, which are the main mechanisms of collective nuclear motion. The goal of the SLEGS neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer is to measure GDR and specific nuclear structures in the energy region above the neutron threshold. The SLEGS TOF spectrometer was designed to hold 20 sets of EJ301 and $${\hbox {LaBr}_{3}}$$ LaBr 3 detectors. Geant4 was used to simulate the efficiency of each detector and the entire spectrometer, which provides a reference for the selection of detectors and layout of the SLEGS TOF spectrometer. Under the events of $$^{208}\hbox {Pb}$$ 208 Pb , implementations of coincidence and time-of-flight technology for complex experiments are available; thus, $$\gamma $$ γ and neutron decay events can be separated. The performance of SLEGS TOF spectrometer was systematically evaluated using offline experiments, in which the time resolution reached approximately 0.9 ns.
