Abstract :
New nonionizing energy losses (NIEL) sensors based on silicon planar p-i-n diodes of different geometry have been investigated and their response to fast neutron field compared with bulk diodes. The possibility of obtaining a wide range of sensitivities in these NIEL sensors simultaneously with measurements of IEL has been demonstrated.
