Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using a new inorganic scintillator, CLYC, a study of new method to measure kinetic energy of fast neutron using photon-yield, was performed.
Priur to publish our study, a new paper based on quite similar idea to measure kinetic energy of fast neutron, had been published. In the paper, the authors succeeded to measure kinetic energy of fast neutrons using photon yield, though maximum energy was limited and detection efficiency was very low.
The paper demonstrated that an idea of this study was indeed correct, though range of application of CLYC to measure fast neutron yield was limited.
