| Popis: | The design of a new fast-gated neutron imaging system for the National Ignition Facility with much stricter timing constraints than a previous system has prompted the search for a fast scintillator material that can be used in imaging. A novel imaging cell based on Liquid VI has recently been developed with Eljen Technology and characterized at the Special Technologies Laboratory and the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The results show superior timing characteristics and spatial resolution, and sufficient light production for the new system compared to fast plastic scintillators previously used in neutron imaging. While the primary application is in inertial confinement fusion diagnostics, the imaging cell can be used in any fast-gated imaging application where timing characteristics and spatial resolution are of concern. |
