Helium-3 gas proportional counters are the most used detector type for thermal neutron detection in a wide range of applications, but the scarcity of Helium-3 calls for alternatives. The authors presented a detector based on a scintillating composite consisting of Lithium-6 enriched glass scintillator particles dispersed in an organic matrix as a viable alternative to Helium-3 detectors
