Alternatives to 3He are being investigated for gamma-ray insensitive neutron detection applications, including plutonium assay. One promising material is lithium-6 fluoride with silver activated zinc sulfide 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) in conjunction with a wavelength shifting plastic. Doping the 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) with nickel (Ni) has been proposed as a means of reducing the decay time of neutron signal pulses. This...
Alternatives to 3He for neutron detection have recently become attractive for safeguards applications. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is developing a neutron multiplicity counter that is based on 6LiF/ZnS. Some of the properties of this material, such as the scintillation light decay time, can be tuned by doping the material with a small amount of nickel. This doping affects other properties...
