A Scintillation Thermal Neutron Detector
Abstract
The Familiar Scintillation thermal neutron detectors contain a scintillating composition, glycerine, and boric acid. The use of boric acid when preparing these detectors causes the formation of acrolein which decreases the optical properties and the efficiency of the detector. In the proposed detector we use, as the boron-containing compound, metaboric acid or boric anhydride, which does not form acrolein. The use of boric anhydride or metaboric acid increases the efficiency of the detector without lowering its optical properties.
