A 2D pixelated stilbene scintillator detector array for simultaneous radiography with fast neutrons and gammas
read the original abstract
For radiography applications using fast neutrons simultaneously with gammas we have developed a detector with 16 stilbene crystals in a 4$\times$4 2D array with a 5~mm pitch and a depth of 25~mm. The crystal array is read out by Silicon photomultipliers and custom signal processing electronics. The detector prototype was tested using a custom D-D fast neutron generator at the Paul Scherrer Institute. By applying a pulse shape discrimination algorithm the detector is able to detect and distinguish fast neutrons and gammas simultaneously. Various attenuating samples placed between the source and detector with different materials and thicknesses were tested and the measured macroscopic fast neutron cross sections were compared to what was expected. Deviations were studied with the help of detailed Geant4 simulations. The detection efficiency for D-D fast neutrons was measured to be around 10\%.
