[en] The development of improved neutron detection for energies less than 20 MeV is required for advances in the study of neutron-induced reactions. These neutron detectors must have an accurately known response function as well as fast-timing capabilities for use at pulsed neutron sources. The accuracy in the determination of the response of most neutron detectors is ultimately limited by the accuracy of the neutron standard reaction cross sections. The exceptions to this rule include thick total absorption detectors and associated particle methods. Several examples of recent progress in neutron detection are presented. (Auth.)
