New Type of Neutron Image Scintillator based on H310BO3/ZnS(Ag)

In this contribution we present a system of converter (H3 10BO3) and phosphor (ZnS:Ag) which were fabricated by spraying method. The particle sizes and the mass ratio of the neutron converter and phosphor materials were optimized by simulation and experimental methods, respectively. Furthermore, the spatial resolution of scintillators at thicknesses of 0.40 nm and 0.35 mm were1.11 lp/mm (MTF = 0.1) and 1.33 lp/mm (MTF = 0.1), respectively. The results indicated that H3 10BO3/ZnS(Ag) scintillator have potential application in thermal neutron radiography.
