Neutron is an indirectly ionizing particle without charge, which is normally measured by detecting reaction products.Neutron detection system based on measuring gadolinium-converted gamma-rays is a good Drinkware Sets way to monitor the neutron because the representative prompt gamma-rays of gadolinium have low energies (79, 89, 182, and 199 keV).Low energy gamma-rays and their high attenuation coefficient on materials allow the simple design of a detector easier to manufacture.Thus, we designed a cadmium zinc telluride detector to investigate feasibility of simultaneous detection of gamma-rays and neutrons by using the Monte-Carlo simulation, which was divided into two parts; first was gamma-detection part and second was gamma- and neutron-simultaneous detection Repellents part.Consequently, we confirmed that simultaneous detection of gamma-rays and neutrons could be feasible and valid, although further research is needed for adoption on real detection.
