Bright ${Eu}^{2 +}$ -activated polycrystalline ceramic neutron scintillators

Journal Article Wang, Cai -Lin ; Paranthaman, M. Parans ; Riedel, Richard A. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Scintillation properties of Eu²⁺-doped CaF₂_-AlF_3-⁶LiF (Eu:CALF) polycrystalline ceramic thermal-neutron scintillators as a function of AlF₃ concentration have been studied. The emission band peaked at a wavelength of 425-431 nm is due to the presence of Eu:CaF₂ micro-crystallites. The highest light output from these samples is approximately 20,000 photons per thermal neutron, which is 3 times that of a GS20 ⁶Li-glass scintillator. The pulse-decay lifetime and light output vs. AlF₃ concentration may be understood using a radiation trapping model and the formation of Li₃AlF₆ phase. At lower AlF₃ concentration, Al³⁺ ions in Eu:CaF₂ passivate the hole-trapping defects and enhance the lightmore »« less

Improved Lithium Iodide neutron scintillator with Eu $^{2 +}$ activation II: Activator zoning and concentration effects in Bridgman-grown crystals

Journal Article Boatner, Lynn A. ; Comer, Eleanor P. ; Wright, Gomez W. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

We have previously reported on the formation of Suzuki Phase precipitate particles as a result of the addition of the divalent activator ion Eu²⁺ to the monovalent alkali halide host LiI. [Boatner et al. (2017)]. These precipitates form during Bridgman or other melt-growth processes, even at low Eu²⁺ concentrations (e.g., 0.1% EuI₂ doping), and scatter the scintillation light reducing the optical transparency of the scintillator and adversely affecting its radiation-detection performance. In our prior work, we developed a two-stage thermal-treatment method for the post-growth removal of the Suzuki Phase particles and the realization of a significant improvement in the opticalmore »« less

Pulse shape discrimination of Cs $_{2}$ LiYCl $_{6}$ :Ce $^{3+}$ detectors at high count rate based on triangular and trapezoidal filters

Journal Article Wen, Xianfei ; Enqvist, Andreas - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce³⁺ (CLYC) detectors have demonstrated the capability to simultaneously detect γ-rays and thermal and fast neutrons with medium energy resolution, reasonable detection efficiency, and substantially high pulse shape discrimination performance. A disadvantage of CLYC detectors is the long scintillation decay times, which causes pulse pile-up at moderate input count rate. Pulse processing algorithms were developed based on triangular and trapezoidal filters to discriminate between neutrons and γ-rays at high count rate. The algorithms were first tested using low-rate data. They exhibit a pulse-shape discrimination performance comparable to that of the charge comparison method, at low rate. Then, they were evaluatedmore »« less
