Abstract
The efficiencies of channel-type, chevron-type, and sinusoid-type perforated semiconductor neutron detectors have been calculated. Azimuthal streaming problems exhibited by rod- type perforations are eliminated using sinusoidal perforations but cannot be completely removed with channel-type and chevron- type perforations.
