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