Abstract
We present a two-step method for a high-resolution neutron area detector in which a metal foil with a high absorption cross section acts as a neutron to charged particle converter. After the foil is activated, the neutron fie ld information is transferred from the converter foil to an imaging device by autoradiography. This two-step process using a storage photostimulable p hosphor avoids interferences from non-neutron radiation found in the radiat ion field. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
