Abstract :
The performance of crystalline silicon diodes for operation as cold to thermal neutron detectors are reviewed. Recent advances in both detector technology and VLSI readout electronics open up new possibilities for these devices. Neutron test measurements carried out on two prototype detectors are reported together with the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of detector operation.
