Abstract

Abstract The fiber-optic neutron detector consists principally of a neutron-sensitive scintillator, optical fiber, and photomultiplier tube. It has features such as small size, real-time online measurement capability, and high resistance to electromagnetic interference. This detector is excellent for neutron detection in areas with limited space and strong electromagnetic interference. However, its small size results in a comparatively low neutron sensitivity. The goal of this study is to look into the relationship between detector parameters and performance in order to improve the detector design. The research begins with the development of a detector model using Monte Carlo simulation programs to investigate the relationship between the 6LiF/ZnO:Ga mass ratio, thickness, wavelength-shifting fiber length, and detector performance. The 6LiF/ZnO:Ga mass ratio was then used as the test parameter to create equivalent detector samples for experimental validation. The results show that the detector has the highest neutron sensitivity when the mass ratio of 6LiF/ZnO:Ga is 1:1. This pattern is consistent with theoretical simulation results, indicating that the optimization strategy for detector parameters is feasible. The results of this work give a theoretical foundation for the development and practical implementation of the fiber-optic neutron detector.
