Detection of ultracold neutrons with powdered scintillator screens
M. Krivos, N. C. Floyd, C. L. Morris +24
Zinc sulfide (ZnS:Ag) scintillators coated with a thin 10B layer are widely used for ultracold neutron (UCN) detection, but their application is limited by long decay times and sig…

Scintillation characteristics of the EJ-299-02H scintillator
N. Floyd, Md. T. Hassan, Z. Tang +15
A study of the dead layer thickness and quenching factor of a plastic scintillator for use in ultracold neutron (UCN) experiments is described. Alpha spectroscopy was used to deter…
