abstract：:A current-mode neutron detector with a pair of 6Li- and 7Li-glass scintillators has been developed to measure high-flux neutrons in a boron neutron capture therapy field. Neutrons are basically measured by subtracting gamma-ray component using current outputs from the 7Li-glass scintillator. In the present study, the ...
