Scintillators, which can convert high‐energy ionizing radiation into visible light, have been
serving as the core component in radiation detectors for more than a century of history. To …

Tritium (3 H) is one of the hardest isotopes to detect by most traditional radiometric means
due to the low energy of the β− emission,(β− MEAN 5.67 keV, β− MAX 18.59 keV). The high …

In nuclear nonproliferation and safeguards, detecting and accurately characterizing special
nuclear material remains one of the greatest challenges. Uranium enrichment determination …

There is an urgent need for new, better instrumentation and techniques for detecting and
characterizing special nuclear material (SNM), ie, highly enriched uranium and plutonium …

Five types of scintillators for parallel detection of neutrons and γ were tested for their pulse
shape discrimination ability. All detectors are based on 6 Li (n, alpha) 3 H reaction. LiI, ZnS …

For simultaneous detection of fast and thermal neutrons, a composite scintillator consisting
of stilbene crystal and 6 Li glass was designed. Energy calibration was finished with a 152 …

An important aspect of radiation detection in scintillators is the time dependence of emitted
fluorescence, which results in characteristic measured pulse shape. In some materials, a …

Spectroscopic transmission radiography using MeV-class radiation is a powerful method for
identifying the elemental composition of dense objects. This method has been extensively …

The results of modeling and optimization of a composite scintillator for recording thermal
neutrons are presented. The interaction of thermal neutrons and γ-quanta with composites …

Neutron detection with directional sensitivity is an increasingly sought-after technology in
nuclear safety and security. To keep the nuclear material secure, an accurate assessment of …
