1. An integrated neutron-gamma radiation detector, comprising:

  • a gamma sensing element;

    a neutron sensing element comprising a neutron scintillating material at least partially surrounded by an optical waveguide material, at least a portion of the gamma sensing element being disposed within a central aperture of the neutron sensing element; and

    a photosensing element optically coupled to both the gamma sensing element and the neutron sensing element,wherein photons emitted from the neutron sensing element are collected and channeled through the optical waveguide material and into the photosensing element.
