Scintacor neutron detection sheet<\/a> is a giant 6<\/sup>Li-scintillator based neutron detector suitable for registering thermal neutrons – Fig. 1. Thanks to 6<\/sup>Li, the detector sensitivity per unit area is is very similar to the the sensitivity of a 3<\/sup>He detector.<\/p>\n\n\n

This detector requires +12V power (60 mA) and produces short (10 us) positive polarity pulses with amplitude on the order of 1-2 volts. Just like any other thermal neutron detector, the Scintacor neutron detection sheets requires moderator to slow down fast neutrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thermal neutron spectrum of the Scintacor detector is shown on FIg. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the spectrum is the same as for a typical ZnS scintillator with no features corresponding to neutron energy. Therefore, this detector is suitable for thermal neutron counting only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its huge size (24″ long by 6″ wide in this example), Scintacor detector<\/a> is perfect for detecting thermal neutrons from weak spatially extended sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
