Abstract :
An analytical model of neutron sensors of the type used in nuclear reactor instrumentation was developed for the purpose of identifying physical phenomena important to dynamic response and degradation, and for relating the transient response to radiation with the response to high voltage bias transients. The model was experimentally confirmed using Bremsstrahlung x-ray radiation transients with less than 10 nanosecond rise time.
