Abstract: Procedures of mathematical modeling of thin solid-state converters of neutrons are described and converters a foil from natural gadolinium and its 157 isotopes are viewed.Algorithms of calculation of absorption of neutrons in a material of converters, probabilities formation of secondary electrons, probability of an exit of electrons from a material of the converter and efficiency of converters are given.Calculation is made for various thicknesses of converters, and various wavelengths of neutrons.The optimal converter thicknesses are chosen.
