N2 - For neutron detection applications, we have synthesised glass phosphor materials of Ce3+-doped CaO–Al2O3–B2O3 with consisting boron in two different forms of isotopes, enriched 10B and 11B, called 10B-glass and 11B-glass, respectively. For radiation detections, thermoluminescence (TL) properties of the glasses were investigated with X-ray, proton, and neutron irradiations. The TL properties of X-ray- and proton-irradiated 10B- and 11B-glasses were similar while the TL intensity of neutron-irradiated 10B-glass was much greater than that of 11B-glass. The TL of the 10B-glass was observed across the neutron fluence range of 107–1012 neutrons/cm2, and the intensity increased monotonically with neutron fluence.
