An integrated neutron-gamma radiation detector includes a gamma sensing
element, a neutron sensing element comprising a neutron scintillating
material at least partially surrounded by an optical waveguide material,
and a photosensing element optically coupled to both the gamma sensing
element and the neutron sensing element. A portion of the gamma sensing
element is capable of being disposed within a central aperture of the
neutron sensing element. In one aspect, the neutron sensing element
comprises a plurality of cylindrical, concentric shells forming the
central aperture for receiving the gamma sensing element. In another
aspect, the neutron sensing element comprises a plurality of strands
forming a multi-layered structure and forming the central aperture for
receiving the gamma sensing element.
