Fission detector.

Fission reaction may be employed to detect neutrons.A typical detector consists of an ionisation chamber whose walls are coated with fissionable material.The incident neutrons cause Fission in the material.This gives rise to heavy Fission fragments, each having kinetic energy of more than 50MeV.These fission fragments cause ionisation in the gas in ionisation chamber.
