The use of the parallel-plate avalanche counter for slow-neutron counting is described. The choice of a suitable neutron converter is discussed on the basis of Monte Carlo simulation, and some experimental results are shown. Excellent {gamma}-insensitivity, high rate capability, possibility of construction in large sensitive area and low production cost are among the promising features of this neutron detector.
