Development of a Neutron Flat Panel Detector

Abstract

We have been developing a neutron flat panel detector (nFPD) for neutron imaging application. It is based on a new compound semiconductor based FPD coupled with a ZnS/LiF scintillator. The advantage of the FPD is its large area coverage and its usability. In addition, direct optical coupling with the ZnS/LiF scintillator enlarges sensitivity and it is promising technique for the neutron imaging application. We are also testing a new LiNaI₂ (LNI) scintillator.
