Comparison of several Li doped scintillators for measurement of neutron and γ radiation integral quantities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Five types of scintillators for parallel detection of neutrons and γ were tested for their pulse shape discrimination ability. All detectors are based on 6Li (n,alpha)3H reaction. LiI, ZnS and polystyrene were used as scintillators.Tests were performed at different neutron and γ mixed fields (AmBe, Cf) using a small Hamamatsu photomultiplier and a Picoscope digitizer. A polystyrene-based ZnS + LiF detector was proven to be the most suitable for neutron-γ separation and similar sensitivity for both types of radiation to construct a single device to measure integral quantities neutrons and γ (fluence, ambient dose equivalent) in parallel. The ZnS + LiF detector based on plexiglass, is in principle useable also, but has low sensitivity to γ radiation. The tested Li glass or LiI crystal does not have the ability to separate neutron and γ. With amplitude discrimination it can be used as a neutron detector for a much simpler probe for a Bonner spectrometer.
