Thermal neutron measurements using YAP:Ce powder

Thermal neutron measurements using YAP:Ce powder

A YAP:Ce powder was used as a scintillator for the detection of thermal neutrons. For neutrons energy conversion, enriched LiF was used. The dependence of the concentration of the scintillator: LiF ratio on neutron detection efficiency was studied as well as the influence of areal density of layers...

For neutrons energy conversion, enriched LiF was used. The dependence of the concentration of the scintillator: LiF ratio on neutron detection efficiency was studied as well as the influence of areal density of layers and different YAP:Ce powder grains. The preamplifier pulse shape study of YAP:Ce was also provided in response to the dependence of shape of the amplitude spectrum on shaping the time setting. It was shown that based on the pulse shape from YAP:Ce, the neutron and gamma pulses can be clearly distinguished. The results were related to the reference mixture of ZnS:Ag/LiF which is commonly used in combination with thermal neutron detectors.http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1451-3994/2019/1451-39941900012F.pdfYAP:Cescintillation powdersthermal neutron detection
