= Large-Area Neutron Detector
{wiki=Large-Area_Neutron_Detector}
A Large-Area Neutron Detector (LAND) is a specialized device designed to detect and measure neutron radiation over a wide area. These detectors are used in various fields, including nuclear physics, astrophysics, radiation safety, and homeland security. The ability to measure neutrons is crucial because neutrons are neutral particles that do not interact with matter in the same way as charged particles (such as alpha and beta particles), making them harder to detect.
