摘要：
The thermal neutron flux can be easily measured in real time by using the scintillator with optical fiber (SOF) detector. However the irradiation damage under high-intensity neutron flux causes deterioration of the SOF detector due to radiation damage to the plastic scintillator in which (6)LiF is blended. After irradiating the SOF detector for 4 h (thermal neutron fluence is approximately 2.0 x 10(13) neutrons/cm(2)), the sensitivity of the SOF detector decreased by 3.0%. After irradiating the SOF detector for 2 months (thermal neutron fluence approximately 6.4 x 10(14) neutrons/cm(2)), the sensitivity was reduced to 42% of baseline. Supposing that the thermal neutron fluence is 2 x 10(12) neutrons/cm(2) on the surface of a patient in a BNCT treatment, the sensitivity of the SOF detector is reduced by approximately 0.3%. This report presents investigations on the deterioration of the SOF detector in irradiation experiments. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
