Multilayer position-sensitive ¹⁰B-RPC thermal neutron detectors offer an attractive combination of sub-millimeter spatial resolution and high (>50%) detection efficiency. Here we describe a new position reconstruction method based on a statistical approach. Using experimental data, we compare the performance of this method with that of the centroid reconstruction. Both methods result in a similar image linearity/uniformity and spatial resolution. However, the statistical method allows to improve the image quality at the detector periphery, offers more flexible event filtering and allows to develop automatic quality monitoring procedures for early detection of situations when a change in the detector operation conditions starts to affect reconstruction quality.

多层位置敏感¹⁰ B-RPC 热中子探测器提供了亚毫米空间分辨率和高 (>50%) 检测效率的有吸引力的组合。在这里，我们描述了一种基于统计方法的新位置重建方法。使用实验数据，我们将这种方法的性能与质心重建的性能进行了比较。这两种方法都会产生相似的图像线性/均匀性和空间分辨率。然而，统计方法允许提高探测器外围的图像质量，提供更灵活的事件过滤，并允许开发自动质量监控程序，以便在探测器操作条件的变化开始影响重建质量时及早检测情况。
