Development of gas-filled position-sensitive detectors of thermal neutrons at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

The Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is one of the leading centers of neutron research in Russia. Within the works on the modernization of detector systems, researchers of the laboratory have designed and fabricated linear and area gas-filled position-sensitive detectors of thermal neutrons and the area monitor detector with a low attenuation of the incoming beam. These devices and their main characteristics have been described.
