Abstract
A radiation conversion and radiationtransport model applicable to gadolinium‐exposure neutron imaging is formulated. The resultant linear optical density representation is found to be in good agreement with experiment. The distinct conversion‐electron contributions thus identified confirm the supposition about the dominant mode of image formation in gadolinium‐exposure neutron imaging.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
