Neutron/$$gamma$$-ray discrimination based on the property and thickness controls of scintillators using Li glass and LiCAF(Ce) in a $$gamma$$-ray field

We focus on the thickness and property controls of inorganic scintillators used for thermal neutron detection in intense $$gamma$$-ray fields without considering pulse shape discrimination techniques. GS20$$^{rm{TM}}$$ (a lithium glass) and LiCaAlF$$_6$$:Ce(LiCAF:Ce) cintillators with thicknesses of 0.5 and 1.0 mm, respectively, have been employed. Pulse signals generated by photomultiplier tubes, to which the scintillators were coupled, were inserted into a digital pulse processing unit with 1 Gsps, and the areas of waveforms were integrated for 360 ns. In a $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-ray field, the neutron detection for GS20$$^{rm{TM}}$$ with a 0.5-mm thickness was possible at dose rates of up to 0.919 Gy/h; however, for LiCAF:Ce, neutron detection was possible at 0.473 Gy/h, and it failed at 0.709 Gy/h. Threfore, in a $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-ray field, the neutron/$$gamma$$-ray discrimination of GS20$$^{rm{TM}}$$ was better than that of LiCAF:Ce due to its better energy resolution and higher detection efficiency.

Discrimination of neutrons and $$gamma$$ ray by a neutron detector comprising a superconducting tunnel junction on a single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$

Nakamura, Tatsuya; Katagiri, Masaki; Soyama, Kazuhiko; Ukibe, Masahiro*; Ikeuchi, Takashi*; Okubo, Masataka*

We evaluated the neutron-$$gamma$$-rays discrimination of the neutron detector comprising a superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) on the single crystal of Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$. The neutron detector was irradiated with X-rays, $$gamma$$-rays and neutrons, and the signal pulses were analyzed including pulse height distributions and rise times. It was found that the most of the signal pulses for the neutron-events exhibited slower rise times than those for X-rays and $$gamma$$-rays. This indicated the capability of neutron-$$gamma$$-rays discrimination of the detector using the differences in the decay time of the signal current.
