| contents | The $^3$He(n,p) process is excellent for neutron detection between thermal and $\sim$4\,MeV because of the high cross section and near-complete energy transfer from the neutron to the proton. Traditional gaseous $^3$He detectors using this process typically have high levels of radiogenic backgrounds so that they cannot measure the small neutron fluxes present in underground labs for dark matter experiments. I propose a cryogenic liquid $^3$He detector that can be designed with tiny radiogenic backgrounds and efficiently measure neutron fluxes in low-flux environments. |
