Abstract
We describe the simulation of a new concept for a neutron detector system involving polyethylene radiators and multiwire proportional detectors which detect protons produced by neutron interactions in the radiators. The detector system is relatively insensitive to gamma radiation as long as the individual proportional counters maintain their stability. The detector system has a linear energy response and good energy resolution from threshold (determined by the radiator thickness) up to approximately 20 MeV. By detecting events in which two proton tracks are produced, the detector system can be used for imaging with a spatial resolution of ∼9°.
