Absolute Neutron Sensitivity of a GSO(Ce) Scintillation Detector

摘要

Neutron sensing techniques have attracted much attention to open possibilities in many fields of technologies. At accelerator facilities developing for medical and industrial applications, environmental neutrons must be monitored by highly sensitive detectors. The sensitivity of presently-existing detectors, however, is insufficient to provide reliable time-dependent neutron numbers at environments. A neutron tomographic system that is under rapid developments, needs a high sensitivity to achieve better imaging performances. For the reasons, it is desired to develop a highly sensitive neutron detector.
