Abstract
An imaging system for neutron beams based on scintillating fiber facep lates is described. The scintillating fibers are made from lithium sil icate glass doped with Ce3+ using isotopically enriched Li-6. Several faceplates ranging;in thickness from 1.3 to 3.2 mm have been tested us ing a position-sensitive photomultiplier or a Charge Injection Device camera as the photodetector. Advantages of scintillating fiber facepla tes include high neutron capture efficiency, good position resolution, and the possibility of low-cost, large-area detectors.
