Boron Trifluoride ( 10BF3) proportional counters are largely sensitive to thermal neutrons. Typical applications include: Thermal Neutron Diffraction, Spectroscopy, Density Gauges, and Neutron Monitoring. Compared to 3He, 10B has a lower cross section for thermal neutrons, making 10BF3 detectors less sensitive. The one advantage is that the Q-value of the neutron reactions is much larger than for 3He, making it easier to discriminate against gamma pulses with a 10BF3 detector.
Linde’s proprietary purification technologies provide 10BF3 at the highest purity available making it the preferredsource for neutron detection systems.
