Cs2LiYCl6：Ce3+(CLYC)是一种新型的无机闪烁体，由于其探测和区分伽马和热中子的能力而引起了人们的关注。虽然闪烁体通常耦合到传统的光电倍增管用于数据采集，但这种设置可能在所有应用中都是可行的。固态光电倍增管具有体积小、坚固耐用、不需要高电压、不透磁场等潜在优点。我们研究了当耦合到SensL硅光电倍增管和Hamamatsu多像素光子计数器时的CLYC发射的波形结构。我们报告了为伽马和热中子分离提供脉冲形状辨别的能力。
Cs2LiYCI6:Ce3+ (CLYC) is a new inorganic scintillator that has recently garnered attention for its ability to detect and discriminate between gammas and thermal neutrons. While scintilla tors are typically coupled to traditional photomultiplier tubes for data acquisition, this setup may not be feasible in all applications. Solid state photomultipliers offer potential advantages including smaller size, added robustness, no high voltage requirement, and imperviousness to magnetic fields. We investigate the waveform structure of CLYC emission when coupled to a SensL silicon photomultiplier and a Hamamatsu multi-pixel photon counter. We report on the ability to provide pulse-shape discrimination for gamma and thermal neutron separation.
