Abstract
Radiation-resistant, gamma-insensitive, active thermal neutron detectors were developed to monitor the thermal neutron cavity of the E_LIBANS project. Silicon and silicon carbide semiconductors, plus vented air ion chambers, were chosen for this purpose. This communication describes the performance of these detectors, owing on the results of dedicated measurement campaigns.
