Commonly used detection processes

	1st conversion (neutron captures )	2nd conversion	3rd conversion	Sensor
	Capture/solid → e⁻			Film
	n + ¹⁵⁷Gd			Film
Gas ionization	Capture/gas	Gas ionization → e⁻		Electronics
	n + ³He → p + t	(³He + add. gas)		Electronics
	Capture/solid	Gas ionization → e⁻		Electronics
	n + ¹⁰B, ⁶Li, ²³⁵U	(e.g. Ar + CO₂)
	fission products	(e.g. Ar + CO₂)
Scintillation	Capture/solid:	Fluorescence/solid:
	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag)	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag) → ν		Film
	n + ⁶Li → α + t	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag) → ν		Film
	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag)	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag) → ν	Photoelectric effect → e⁻	Electronics
	n + ⁶Li → α + t	$[{\rm \underline {Li}F}]$ + ZnS(Ag) → ν	Photoelectric effect → e⁻	Electronics
	Ce³⁺ enriched $[{\rm \underline {Li}}]$ glass	$[{\rm \underline {Ce}}^{3+}]$ enriched Li glass → ν	Photoelectric effect → e⁻	Electronics
	n + ⁶Li → α + t	$[{\rm \underline {Ce}}^{3+}]$ enriched Li glass → ν	Photoelectric effect → e⁻	Electronics
