摘要：

Excellent pulse height and pulse shape discrimination performance has been obtained for liquid scintillators containing as much as 10 wt.% 6Li-salicylate dissolved in a toluene-methanol solvent system using naphthalene and 9,10 diphenylanthracene as intermediate and secondary solutes. This solution has improved performance at higher 6Li-loading than solutions in dioxane-water solvent systems, and remains stable at temperatures as low as -10°C. Cells as large as 5 cm in diameter and 15.2 deep have been prepared which have a higher light output for slow neutron detection than 10B-loaded liquids. Neutron efficiency calculations are also presented.
