System Response Characterization for a d–t Neutron Radiography System

We report the system response of a pixelated associated particle imaging (API) neutron radiography system. The detector readout currently consists of a 2x2 array of organic glass scintillator detectors, each with an 8x8 array of optically isolated pixels that match the size and pitch of the ARRAYJ-60035-64P-PCB Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) array from SensL/onsemi with 6x6 mm 2 SiPMs. The alpha screen of the API deuterium-tritium neutron generator is read out with the S13361-3050AE-08 from Hamamatsu, which is an 8x8 array of 3x3 mm 2 SiPMs. Data from the 320 channel system is acquired with the TOFPET2-based readout system. We present the predicted imaging capability of an eventual 5x5 detector array, the waveform-based energy and pulse shape characterization of the individual detectors, and the timing and energy response from the TOFPET2 system.
