摘要
A new class of scintillators for neutron imaging, based upon lithium gadolinium berate, is described. These scintillators offer the ability to tailor their response to the neutron spectrum by varying the relative absorption of neutrons by the key constituents (lithium, gadolinium and boron). The isotopic compositions of each constituent can be varied in order to change the spectral response. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
