First evaluation of fast neutron imaging with LiInSe 2 semiconductors

Fast neutron imaging is a powerful tool to investigate elemental/isotopic compositions of objects, supporting both scientific studies as well as cargo scanning. Current neutron imaging systems are faced with challenges associated with timing, detection efficiency, and/or spatial resolution. Here, we report on the use of a semiconducting lithium indium diselenide neutron sensor coupled to a Timepix ASIC for fast neutron imaging. Using a 15 cm thick copper knife edge, the spatial resolution of the neutron imager was found to be 1.55 mm for 9 MeV neutrons. In conclusion, the experimental detection efficiency at 9 MeV was in general agreement with calculations.

Hot-pressed 6 LiInSe 2 for use as a ceramic radiation detector

Lithium based chalcogenides have many uses in the nuclear science field. 6 LiInSe 2 (or LISe) has been researched extensively because of its ability to operate in both scintillator and semiconductor modes. Here, this makes it useful in applications including nuclear material detection for national security, space applications, and medical imaging. In some applications growth and fabrication costs are of concern, as it takes upwards of 40 days to synthesize a charge, grow a crystal and fabricate a detector. Ceramics are a solution for this long route of preparation. This research shows that using a 6 LiInSe 2 ceramic instead of a single crystal significantly decreases the time required to make a detector. In the present work, ceramic wafers can be formed using a mechanical press equipped with a heating attachment. The resulting ceramic wafer performs very similar to a slow-growth single crystal when used in the scintillator mode.
