Tool for replicators: affordable neutron detector (<700$)

Regarding neutrons, let me once again remind people that Ed Storms thinks they may have a prosaic origin such as fractofusion. They may not be directly caused by cold fusion, whatever it is. If so, their use as a diagnostic will be misleading.

When I say they may not be directly caused, I mean that both cold fusion and the neutrons may have a common cause. A third-cause triggering both of them. Leading to the questionable cause fallacy, cum hock ergo propter hoc.

Let me also note that Takahashi and others found they may be anti-correlated with heat. That is, when the heat turns on, the number of neutrons declined, and when the heat faded they increased. The trend wasn't that clear, but it was there. When I saw that I wondered if it was something analogous to the connection between smoke and open flames. Smoke is incomplete combustion. Perhaps neutrons are incomplete (partial) cold fusion. Complete cold fusion produces a lot more heat. Okay, that is a vague notion, but there it is.

It's what protons and neutrons are doing in the 0-250 kev range

which is of interest

NaI or NaIL scintillation detectors might be clear for the higher ranges for 600 keV, ~3 MEV

but in the lower ''busy"" range

discriminating the exact origin of the scintillation output

is not straightforward
