SUMMARY:INPA SEMINAR SPEAKER: Mackenzie Duce (Georgia Tech)-Title: Developments in Polysiloxane-based Scintillators for Radiation Detection
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 16\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132  [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Mackenzie Duce (Georgia Tech) \nTitle: Developments in Polysiloxane-based Scintillators for Radiation Detection \nAbstract: Organic scintillators are a common choice in radiation detection due to their fast response time\, enabling discrimination of incident ionizing radiation via the pulse shapes. Commercially available organic scintillators are typically formulated from polyvinyl-toluene matrices. Still\, there is extensive research in alternative bases for these scintillators to improve radiation hardness\, ruggedness\, and chemical stability without sacrificing radiation detection characteristics. Polysiloxane-based scintillators are formulated from silicone resins\, making them rugged and radiation-hard. They have recently shown radiation detection capabilities on par with commercial options while requiring less doping of fluorescent molecules. Now\, polysiloxane scintillators doped with Boron-10 enriched molecules have been developed for thermal neutron detection. These scintillators demonstrate a light output of ~6\,000 photons/MeVee and a pulse shape discrimination figure of merit surpassing 1.27. As the pulse shapes from fast neutrons (MeV) overlap with those from thermal neutrons (< 0.025 eV)\, an algorithm has been developed to discern between thermal neutrons and fast neutrons in a mixed-field environment. A survey of 13 B10-doped polysiloxane scintillators formulations\, the algorithm development and deployment\, and the characterization of a scintillators array for nuclear nonproliferation applications is presented. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722
