Abstract
We have developed two kinds of imaging plate neutron detectors (IP-ND) , where the neutron converters, Li-6 (tentatively, (Nat)Li was used) a nd Gd were mixed with photostimulated luminescence (PSL) materials n a flexible plastic support, and the dynamic range and spatial resolutio n of our IP-ND were successfully obtained as 1:10(5) and less than 0.2 mm, respectively, which are comparable to the ones of X-ray. The dist inctive features of the IP-ND, where the IP-NDs of different neutron d etection efficiency and converters were positively used, were found an d discussed. The application of the IP-ND for neutron radiography was demonstrated.
