Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:84.23(Optics)We have developed a ZnS/BO scintillator that has a high light output with less afterglow for neutron scattering instruments in the J-PARC/MLF. A commercial ZnS/LiF scintillator has widely been used for thermal neutron detection and its superior light output with low sensitivity has been proven. However its large afterglow followed with a primary emission light gives a limit on a detector count rate. A detector in the J-PARC/MLF should have a capability to cope with higher count rate than ever since the source flux is increasing up to 1 MW (300 kW at present). To address such problem we have developed the ZnS phosphor that exhibited a low after glow. We have also made a neutron-sensitive scintillator in combination with a BO by sintering method in search of high detector efficiency. The scintillator properties and the detector performances will be shown in the presentation.

To provide Zinc Sulfide activated with Silver (ZnS:Ag) based fluorescent material for detecting particle beams, having lower gamma-ray sensitivity and providing lower afterglow, and being specialized for the purpose of detecting particle beams, and its manufacturing method. Zinc Sulfide activated with Silver (ZnS:Ag) based fluorescent material for detecting particle beams emits fluorescence with wavelengths from 320 nm to 580 nm in response to alpha-ray irradiation, and has a fluorescence spectrum with a peak wavelength from 395 nm to 410 nm.
