Abstract

Different types of neutron scattering experiment for the study of condensed matter properties pose specific and often contradictory requirements for detector characteristics. There is no single type of detector which satisfies all the criteria. Therefore, compromise is inevitable and some of the characteristics are trade off in favour of others.

Present report gives an overview of detector systems presently operating at the leading neutron scattering facilities as well as some development work around the globe.
