Ludlum Neutron counter
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2001 8:52 pm
I was going over all the neutron detection related posts on the old forum and came upon Daniele's post reguarding the Ludlum 12-4 neutron detector and counter, built around a BF3 detector.

It runs ~$2.0K, which is very steep! They also have a model 15 detector which detects Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation for ~$1.5K. (like Joe Zambelli's counter). Don't get me wrong, I am not ready to roll one of these things out on my Visa card, but especially if the "cheaper" model can do the job of counting neutrons it certainly eliminates a lot of hassles.
I assume that the thing comes with a users manual, warranty, and calibrated.
Short of finding a working Eberline PNC-1 on E-bay for $51.00 (a once per millenium event), what does anyone think of these counters?
