The CLYC (Cs2LiYCl6:Ce) detector is a scintillator detector sensitive to both neutron and gamma radiation and capable of separating the two types of radiation by pulse-shape discrimination. This feature is interesting as pertains to the development of non-destructive assays for the safeguard of nuclear material, nuclear security, and fast-neutron personal dosimetry. A 1′′×1′′ CLYC detector highly enriched with 6Li was purchased and tested with analog and digital electronics. In this work, we report on the characterization of the detector in terms of linearity, energy resolution, and full-energy efficiency for gamma rays. This characterization was achieved by measurements with calibrated gamma-ray point-sources with an analog measuring chain, in a well-defined, reproducible geometry. The experimental data were also used to validate a model of the detection system that was developed with the Monte Carlo code MCNP-CP. This work is part of a collaborative agreement between SCK•CEN and JRC-Geel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
