Using a scintillator based lithium glass for neutron radiation
https://doi.org/10.32446/0368-1025it.2018-56-58
Abstract
The completed research consists in increasing the accuracy of energy measurements of neutron fields and the improvement of spectrometric analysis of neutron radiation fields with the use of scintillation detectors. The article discusses the use of a scintillation detector based on lithium glasses6Li2O of various diameters and thicknesses for recording neutron radiation with an energy from 0.4 eV to 15 MeV. Comparisons were also made of the main characteristics and measurement results with a LiI (Eu) based scintillator. The scintillator was used in conjunction with a set of ball retarders with a diameter of 70 to 300 mm.
