Natural gadolinium displays a number of remarkable physical properties: it is a rare earth
element, composed of seven stable or quasi-stable isotopes, with an exceptionally high …

MultiLayer Phoswich (MLP) scintillators have been studied for fission neutron detection by
Monte-Carlo simulations and experimental tests. n/γ discrimination behavior of these …

Online nuclear counting represents a challenge due to the stochastic nature of radioactivity.
The counting data have to be filtered in order to provide a precise and accurate estimation of …

The paper introduces new developments in the conception, optimization, and principle
validation of a neutron counter, based on the insertion of gadolinium in plastic scintillators …

CEA LIST is working of the development of a high-sensitivity thermal neutron counter, based
on the insertion of gadolinium in spherical plastic scintillators. As the radiation sensor …

In this study, we fabricated and characterized a UV-curable plastic scintillation resin for 3D
printing technology. The resin for 3D printing was prepared by using the co-polymers MMA …

It has been demonstrated that the gadolinium-core plastic scintillator sphere is a stable,
highly sensitive, transportable, and cost-efficient neutron detector made of environmentally …

This paper studies the effect of lead wrapping on the response of the plastic scintillators as
gamma detectors. Experimental tests and Geant4 simulations showed that lead wrapping …

CEA LIST has investigated different schemes enabling neutron detection thanks to the
implementation of gadolinium converters. The fine analysis of the prompt gamma ray …

The principle of the proposed method is based on a simple and efficient way to estimate the
muon energy deposition in a cylindrical sensor. Muon initial energy is randomly sampled …
