  • Abstract
    A Helium-3 semiconductor neutron spectrometer with enhanced efficiency and a useful energy range to 20 MeV is described. The efficiency has been increased 2.5 orders of magnitude over that previously attainable with only a small loss in resolution. Characteristics are presented along with typical monoenergetic and complex neutron spectra.
