Abstract
A radiation detector is provided. The radiation detector includes an outer casing, at least one first detector disposed within said outer casing, the at least one first detector configured to primarily detect gamma ray radiation, at least one second detector disposed within the outer casing, the at least one second detector configured to primarily detect neutron radiation, and a computing device disposed within the outer casing and communicatively coupled to the at least one first detector and the at least one second detector. The computing device is configured to receive first data from the at least one first detector, receive second data from the at least one second detector, determine a number of neutrons and gamma rays detected based on the first and second data, and determine a detected energy spectrum based on the first and second data.
