Characteristics of 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) Scintillator Used in Position-sensitive Neutron Detectors
emergent light yield and γ sensitivity of EJ426 scintillator with
6
LiF/ZnS(Ag) blended was systemically researched. The results indicate that thermal neutron of EJ426 scintillator detection efficiency is 32.4%
emergent light yield 8.01×10
3
photon/neutron. When the threshold value is 70 mV
its sensitivity is less than 10
-7
which proves that it is an ideal material for scintillator-based position-sensitive neutron detectors.
