Evaluation of a silicon carbide P–N diode for thermal neutron detection in a radiotherapy LINAC

Abstract Accurate neutron detection in mixed photon-neutron and pulsed radiation fields is technically challenging, impacting industrial and medical applications. This paper presents the first measurements of thermal neutrons in conventional radiotherapy accelerators using a silicon carbide (SiC) P–...
