Increasing Efficiency of Scintillation Detectors

Misael Carlos Vera

Current market standards mix powders composing of neutron absorbers and scintillators that act as a medium for radiation detection. Research and simulation work has shown that coating the neutron absorber with scintillators increase the chance of the detector detecting radiation interactions. Current research is focused on optimizing the geometry of the neutron absorber and scintillator molecule to most increase the output of light.
