ZnS(Ag)/6LiF and LiI(Eu) scintillators and silicon photomultipliers for thermal neutron detectors with high space and time resolution
Abstract
ZnS(Ag)/6LiF and LiI(Eu) scintillators for thermal neutron detectors have been investigated and neutron detectors based on these scintillators and photomultipliers have been tested. The efficiencies of these detectors are 5 and 66%, respectively. The possibility of developing position-sensitive detectors of thermal neutrons with high space and time resolution is discussed.
