A small form-factor, third-generation microstructured semiconductor neutron detector (MSND)-based <sup>3</sup>He replacement (HeRep Mk III) detector has been developed to serve as a direct replacement to expensive small-diameter, high-pressure <sup>3</sup>He gas-filled proportional neutron counters. Previously, the larger, 2-in diameter by 6-in-long HeRep Mk II utilized thirty 4-cm<sup>2</sup> active area single-sided MSNDs to replace a similarly sized 4-atm <sup>3</sup>He counter. The net… Expand
