A position-sensitive detector with lithium glass and MaPMT
CHINESE PHYSICS C(2012)
Abstract
A position-sensitive detector is designed for neutron detection. It uses a single continuous screen of a self-made lithium glass scintillator, rather than discrete crystal implementations, coupling with a multi-anode PMT (MaPMT). The scintillator is fast and efficient; with a decay time of 34 ns and thermal neutron detection efficiency of around 95.8% for the 3 mm thick screen, and its light yield is around 5670 photons per neutron and 3768 photons per MeV gamma rays deposition. The spatial resolution is around 1.6 mm (FWHM) with the energy resolution around 34.7% by using a (5.2 MeV) rays test.
