An empirical formula that predicts a spatial resolution of a thermal neutron detector comprising wavelength-shifting (WLS) fibre arrays coupled with a ZnS/$$^{6}$$LiF scintillator screen was derived based on the experimental results. The spatial resolutions of the test detectors were measured separately to evaluate the contributions due to light spread within the part of the scintillator and the part of the WLS fibres layres. The calculated results by using the derived formula reproduced the results with the test detectors, demonstrating the feasibility of the formula for designing a neutron-detecting head of this type detector.
