Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a powerful technique that allows non-invasive monitoring of soil moisture on length scales well matched for agricultural applications. One factor limiting the use of the technique within industrial agriculture set... Read More about Scintillating thermal neutron detectors for cosmic ray soil moisture monitoring.

3D Printing Neutron Detectors using Scintillating BN/ZnS Resin (2021)
Journal Article

In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to produce low cost neutron-sensitive detectors using stereo-lithography additive manufacturing. A curable scintillating resin is made by mixing BN/ZnS with a commercially available UV resin. This resi... Read More about 3D Printing Neutron Detectors using Scintillating BN/ZnS Resin.
