Description

We have developed two kinds of imaging plate neutron detectors (IP-ND), where the neutron converters, 6Li (tentatively, NatLi was used) and Gd were mixed with photostimulated luminescence (PSL) materials on a flexible plastic support, and the dynamic range and spatial resolution of our IP-ND were successfully obtained as 1:105 and less than 0.2 mm, respectively, which are comparable to the ones of X-ray. The distinctive features of the IP-ND, where the IP-NDs of different neutron detection efficiency and converters were positively used, were found and discussed. The application of the IP-ND for neutron radiography was demonstrated. ((orig.))
