centered upon...
Hi there!
Will it be alright to say:
We will apply highly efficient techniques centered upon a neutron detector based on He counters and a gamma spectrometer.
I need to say that the above-mentioned devices are used when applying the techniques.

The "centered upon ... based upon" repetition is a bit awkward. Is it the neutron detector that is based on He counters and a gamma spectrometer?
- The "centered upon ...
- based upon" repetition is a bit awkward.
- Is it the neutron detector that is based on He counters and a gamma spectrometer?
- Consider whether to write "helium" in full.
- To an ordinary reader "He counters" looks odd at first, but of course to a specialist audience they may be well known things.

Hi, thank you!
The neutron detector is based on He counters; these are the techniques that are centered around neutron detector and gamma spectrometer. How would you put it then?
