Abstract :
The pulse-height spectrum and two-dimensional image of a 0.5 mm thick GSO scintillator were investigated for a 6 Å cold neutron beam. The 31 and 81 keV peaks resulting from neutron absorption by Gd nuclei were identified in the pulse-height spectrum by using a photomultiplier tube. Images of 1.5 and 2.1 mm (FWHM) in diameter were observed for 1 and 2 mm diameter incident beams with an image intensifier and viewed by a CCD camera, corresponding to a position resolution of 1.3 mm (FWHM). The result implies that a position resolution of better than 100 μm would be achievable by employing a GSO scintillator thinner than 20 μm.
