The development and characterization of neutron technologies, such as position sensitive detectors, beam monitors, neutrons choppers\u2026, requires access to neutrons.\u00a0<\/span>ESS Bilbao has recently set up a lab for neutron detector development at their headquarters in Zamudio. New neutron detection strategies based on scintillators and tests of prototypes will be carried out in this laboratory. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
