Abstract
Nowadays, neutron detectors draw many attentions since new intense spallation neutron sources and new neutron optics are being realized. Conventional neutron detectors suffer from their poor count rate characteristics, position resolutions, and energy resolutions, etc. Since those properties are related one another in a complicated way, better design of the neutron detector engineering is required. Also, people anticipate new innovative technologies to overcome the current limitation of the detector performance. Future trends for neutron detectors are introduced in this paper.
