Abstract
A prototype of a position sensitive detector system for thermal neutro ns utilizing X-ray storage phosphors has been developed. An overview o f the functional principle is given and a quantitative characterisatio n of detector properties such as linearity, dynamic range, neutron and gamma-sensitivity, spatial resolution and detective quantum efficienc y is presented. The applicability of the system for neutron radiograph y is demonstrated.
