DETECTION OF RADIATION BY INDUCED NUCLEAR REACTION:
(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the induced nuclear reaction takes place in response to the incidence of electromagnetic or particulate energy upon the
material and a product of the nuclear reaction within a structure, which structure is used to indicate incidence of such radiation.
(1) Note. Class 376, this subclass takes all detection whose claims include an induced nuclear reaction.
(2) Note. The reactions may include B[supscrpt]10[end supscrpt] + N Li[supscrpt]7[end supscrpt] + He[supscrpt]4[end supscrpt], He[supscrpt]3[end supscrpt] + N H[supscrpt]3[end supscrpt] + p (proton recoil), B[supscrpt]11[end supscrpt] + N (B[supscrpt]12[end supscrpt]) C[supscrpt]12[end supscrpt] + e, or N[supscrpt]1[end supscrpt] + Li[supscrpt]6[end supscrpt] H[supscrpt]3[end supscrpt]+ He[supscrpt]4[end supscrpt].
