The SAM measures neutrons of all energies. It is more sensitive for slow neutrons such as those associated with Sensitive Nuclear Materials (SNMs). The detector sensitivity specification is 12.7cps/nV, the units of n are neutrons/cc, V is velocity in cm/sec. Multiplying this out yields neutrons/cm squared.
