Description
Key Advantages
High Energy Resolution
Enables precise differentiation of radiation energies, achieving ~4.5% resolution at 662 keV. This precision is vital for isotope identification in applications requiring detailed spectral analysis.
Dual Detection Capability
Simultaneously detects gamma rays and neutrons: efficiently detects thermal neutrons via the ⁶Li(n,t)α reaction and fast neutrons (1–10 MeV) via reactions like ³⁵Cl(n,p)³⁵S. This allows concurrent measurement of thermal/fast neutrons, gamma spectra, and fluence rates.
Fast Response Time
Features a fast decay component (~35 ns), enabling rapid signal conversion and output. Ideal for real-time applications such as nuclear accident emergency monitoring.
High Light Output
Delivers 20,000 photons/MeV, ensuring strong signals with high signal-to-noise ratios. Maintains detectability even for low-dose radiation.
Technical Specifications
This material has a melting point of 640 ºC, a hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale, and a density of 3.31 g/cm³. Its refractive index is 1.81 (measured at 400 nm), with an emission wavelength of 370 nm. Additionally, it exhibits decay times of 1 ns, 50 ns, and 1000 ns, and a light yield of 20,000 photons per MeV.
