Abstract
[Problems to be Solved] A neutron scintillator excellent in neutron detection efficiency and n/γ discrimination ability, and a neutron detector using the neutron scintillator are provided. [Means to Solve the Problems] A neutron scintillator comprising a eutectic body composed of laminar lithium fluoride crystals and laminar calcium fluoride crystals alternately arranged in layers, the thickness of the lithium fluoride crystal layers in the eutectic body being 0.1 to 5 μm; or a neutron scintillator comprising a eutectic body composed of laminar lithium fluoride crystals and laminar calcium fluoride crystals alternately arranged in layers, the calcium fluoride crystal layers in the eutectic body being linearly continuous in at least one direction; and a neutron detector basically constructed from any of the neutron scintillators and a photodetector.
