Description

The detection of neutrons with a variety of energies has impact that spans the realms of fundamental and applied physics. At the University of Surrey, we undertake research into both novel detector materials and the application of more established materials for neutron detection, with a focus on scintillator detectors.

A summary of recent work performed by the group will be presented, with a focus on inorganic materials and their response to neutrons, as well as how results can be improved using novel analysis techniques. Research will be presented based on work performed in-house, using the University of Surrey’s radiation laboratories, as well as work done at the National Physical Laboratory’s neutron facility.
