Evaluation of LiYF4 as a neutron scintillation detector
Description
LiYF4 doped with 1% Ce, and manufactured using fully enriched 99.6% 36Li, has been evaluated as a neutron detector in a comparison with an optimum form of Ce-doped lithium aluminosilicate glass. Room temperature absorption and excitation spectra are presented and discussed. The pulse height of the 36Li (n,α) reaction using moderated Am/Be neutrons is shown to be a factor of approximately six times poorer than that of the glass. (author)
