    Abstract: The present invention provides a gamma-neutron detector based on mixtures of thermal neutron absorbers that produce heavy-particle emission following thermal capture. The detector consists of one or more thin screens embedded in transparent hydrogenous light guides, which also serve as a neutron moderator. The emitted particles interact with the scintillator screen and produce a high light output, which is collected by the light guides into a photomultiplier tube and produces a signal from which the neutrons are counted. Simultaneous gamma-ray detection is provided by replacing the light guide material with a plastic scintillator. The plastic scintillator serves as the gamma-ray detector, moderator and light guide. The neutrons and gamma-ray events are separated employing Pulse-Shape Discrimination (PSD). The detector can be used in several scanning configurations including portal, drive-through, drive-by, handheld and backpack, etc.

    Abstract: This invention relates to an electron tube which stabilizes the orbits of electrons accelerated and focused by an electron lens and has a structure for effectively suppressing noise generated due to discharge. This electron tube has, at two ends of an insulating container, a cathode electrode and an anode electrode which constitute the electron lens. Particularly, in the electron tube, one end of the cathode electrode and a photocathode are supported by a conductive member arranged at one end of the insulating container, and the cathode electrode is electrically connected to the photocathode. The cathode electrode partially extends to a stem along the inner wall of the insulating container and is tapered toward the stem so that the distal end portion of the cathode electrode is separated from the inner wall of the insulating container. Therefore, the electron tube realizes, regardless of the size of the insulating container, a structure for preventing the insulating container from being charged and suppressing discharge followed by light emission between the cathode electrode and the insulating container.
