If necessary, the instrument can be used to determine whether a given flux from a reactor is moderated or unmoderated. The experimental model contains proportional counters sensitive to fast or slow neutrons; at a tolerance flux of either, the instrument reads in the neighborhood of halfscale. The model case measures about 6 by 6 by 11 in. Power is derived from five 1.5 volt flashlight cells, and the instrument should operate continuously for more than 60 hours at room temperature. A plutonium source is used for a check of sensitivity, to ensure that the instrument is in calibration before use.
This book introduces the physics and chemistry of plastic scintillators (fluorescent polymers) that are able to emit light when exposed to ionizing radiation, discussing their chemical modification in the early 1950s and 1960s, as well as the renewed upsurge in interest in the 21st century. The book presents contributions from various researchers on broad aspects of plastic scintillators, from physics, chemistry, materials science and applications, covering topics such as the chemical nature of the polymer and/or the fluorophores, modification of the photophysical properties (decay time, emission wavelength) and loading of additives to make the material more sensitive to, e.g., fast neutrons, thermal neutrons or gamma rays. It also describes the benefits of recent technological advances for plastic scintillators, such as nanomaterials and quantum dots, which allow features that were previously not achievable with regular organic molecules or organometallics.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of using a cadmium-telluride (CdTe) detector to measure slow neutrons with superior photon-to-neutron discrimination for clinical proton therapy. Five experimental measurements were performed with varied configurations using a 25 mm2, 1 mm thick uncollimated X-123 CdTe spectrometer. The detector was shielded using sheets of borated polyethylene minimizing the measured direct neutron spectrum from the treatment nozzle. Prompt gamma-ray peaks at 95.9 keV were measured as a result of slow neutron capture with 113Cd within the CdTe detector. For a dose of 22.4 Gy, 0-5 cm spread out Bragg peak (SOBP) in a 100 mL bottle of water, a measurement of 6208 u00b1 238 counts were determined, which corresponds to 1.5u00d710^6 thermal neutrons/cm^2. A measurement of 9 Gy, 1.5-6.5 SOBP within a water phantom measured 2065 u00b1 189 counts or 4.9u00d710^5 thermal neutrons/cm^2. All configurations were replicated using MCNP6 and the thermal fluence was found to be within a factor of 2. The measured 95.9 keV gamma-rays were calculated to be from 76% thermal neutrons (
