Rezumat

Problems requiring the detection of neutron radiation are considered, and a description of approaches that can be used for this is given. It is shown that the use of ZnS doped with Ag as a scintillator and 6LiF as a converter converting neutron radiation into a beam of alpha particles and tritons is the best combination for developing neutron detectors. The methods used for the synthesis of ZnS(Ag) aimed for use in detectors are considered. The analysis of possible designs of neutron detectors is given. It is shown that the use of wave length shifting fibers and multi-anode PMTs and flat-panel multi-anode PMTs can significantly simplify the development of position-sensitive neutron detectors. The results of testing the detectors are presented. An analysis of the market for neutron detectors and ZnS-based scintillator screens is given. The approaches used to detect fast neutrons are considered. Devices for large scientific projects developed on the basis of ZnS/6LiF scintillators are described. Possibilities of simultaneous detection of various ionizing radiations using phoswich technology are shown.
