Abstract：
A new conception of measuring pulsed neutron flux in high gamma–ray environment with a thin plastic scintillating foil is presented. based on the calculations of the response to neutrons and gamma–rays, a new gamma–insensitive detector for detecting fast rising, transient neutron flux has been developed and preliminarily tested, which comprises a thin plastic scintillating foil of st401 (tPsf) and a photomultiplier tube (or a photodiode). the detector exhibits three distinct properties compared with the conventional ones: (1) high neutron sensitivity, (2) high n/γ discrimination, and (3) flat response in the given neutron energy range.
