This publication presents the outcome of a technical meeting on modern neutron detection. The objective of the meeting was to bring together experience and opinions from experts from various fields in which neutron detection is used, and to produce this publication that will cover the current state of the art in neutron detection and provide a medium-term outlook on technologies in the field. The scope of this publication covers new materials and detector electronics, in fields such as metrology, dosimetry, spectroscopy, fusion and scattering applications. It offers an overview of many of the current developments in this wide field, together with a description of some of the front-end electronics and spectral unfolding techniques.
