Abstract

We applied a scintillator-based area detector to the neutron time-of-flight method by developing a new electronics system for this detector, which detector consists of a thin plate of ZnS(Ag)+6Li scintillator optically coupled to wavelength shifter. The spatial resolution was about 0.4 mm which is consistent with a fiber width of 0.4 mm. The detection efficiency for thermal neutrons was about 6%. A good-resolution radiographic-image as a function of flight time was obtained.
