Neutron detectors have a wide range of application as for example non-destructive inspection, security systems and scientific research using different types of physical methods and equipment for detection of different types of ionizing radiation. Gadolinium and Lithium based scintillation materials can be considered as very promising candidates for such kinds of detectors. The materials have high absorption of neutrons with following prompt emission of gamma-quanta or alpha particles and detect these radiations efficiently due to high stopping power. Here we report test results of different types of scintillators, glass, ceramics and single crystals consisting or loaded with Gd and Li, obtained with standard Am-Be neutron source.
Work was done in frames of EU, INTELUM and Crystal Clear Collaboration Projects
