3D Printing Neutron Detectors using Scintillating BN/ZnS Resin

Inorganic scintillating materials and scintillation detectors

Scintillation materials and detectors that are used in many applications, such as medical imaging, security, oil-logging, high energy physics and non-destructive inspection, are reviewed. The fundamental physics understood today is explained, and common scintillators and scintillation detectors are introduced. The properties explained here are light yield, energy non-proportionality, emission w...

Predicted Performance of Neutron Spectrometers Using Scintillating Fibers

Neutron Detectors

Mechanisms for detecting neutrons in matter are based on indirect methods. Neutrons, as their name suggests, are neutral. Also, they do not interact directly with the electrons in matter, as gamma ray$ do. The process of neutron detection begins when neutrons, interacting with various nuclei, initiate the release of one or more charged particles. The electrical signrdsproduced by the charged pa...

Modification of a Uv Spectrometer into a Neutron Detector Using Neutron-sensitive Scintillating Material

This report describes the design and development of a plastic scintillating high energy neutron detector to be implemented as a micro-class satellite payload. The primary function of this detector is to identify and characterize the energy distribution of solar accelerated neutrons resulting from massive solar events. Accelerated neutrons will be identified by a pulse counting system using the ...
