Abstract:

The neutron response was characterised for Al₂O₃:C material coated with ⁶Li₂CO₃. Al₂O₃:C material, an optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dosemeter, which is sensitive to both photons and beta radiation but is mostly insensitive to neutron radiation. The Al₂O₃:C material was coated with ⁶Li₂CO₃ to create a material sensitive to neutrons, beta and photon radiation. In this paper, the neutron response of this new OSL material (OSLN) will be compared with various other neutron measurement technologies in laboratory and field environments.
