Abstract

Thermal neutron imaging with Eu doped ⁶LiCaAlF₆, which is a novel thermal neutron scintillator, was demonstrated. Eu doped ⁶LiCaAlF₆ single crystal was grown by Czochralski technique and grown crystal was cut and polished to a plate shape. Setup of the thermal neutron imaging consisted of the plate shaped Eu doped ⁶LiCaAlF₆, a position sensitive photomultiplier tube, Cd-mask and ²⁵²Cf in the polyethylene container. As a result, clear neutron image was successfully observed.
