Test of scintillators for neutron radiography and tomography

DOI

The development of neutron radiography and tomography techniques using a portable equipment based on a compact neutron generator and innovative detector system is of great interest in the field of cultural heritage. In fact, neutrons are particularly suited in art objects analysis and imaging due to their capability to penetrate thick layers of materials, and they are very interesting when used in conjunction with X-ray imaging, since the absorption of photons and neutrons are very different for various materials. The main goal of the experiment is to test the performance of scintillators like Lithium glass (GS20) and polystyrene at INES line located at the pulse neutron source ISIS. The radiography of a test phantom will be performed and compared with the standard imaging system already available at INES.
