ABSTRACT:
A neutron detecting scintillator that has a very short decay time, that can capture neutrons in high efficiency and that is composed of light elements comprises the Li2B4O7single crystal or the6Li and11B or10B enriched6Li211B4O7or6Li210B4O7single crystal, in which6Li and11B or10B have large neutron capture cross sections and fluorescence that is emitted from an ionizing radiation generated through their neutron capture reaction has a short-lived component not longer than 10 ns.
