Les compteurs à dépôt de bore sont, de manière similaire aux chambres à fission, des détecteurs à gaz dont les parois internes sont recouvertes d'un dépôt mince actif : du bore enrichi en10B. La réaction de détection neutronique a lieu sur le10B (idem compteur BF3). Celle des deux particules chargées (4He ou7Li) qui entre dans le gaz provoque l'ionisation et, par suite, le signal électrique de détection. 1, record 1, French, - compteur%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9pot%20de%20bore
