ORNL has developed a large area thermal neutron detector based on 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator coupled with wavelength shifting fibers. The detector uses resistive charge divider-based position encoding.
Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.
This technology is a strategy for decreasing electromagnetic interference and boosting signal fidelity for low signal-to-noise sensors transmitting over long distances in extreme environments, such as nuclear energy generation applications, particularly for particle detection.
