Abstract
A neutron scintillator includes a resin composition having a resin and an inorganic phosphor containing at least one kind of neutron-capturing isotope that is selected from lithium 6 and boron 10 such as Eu:LiCaAlF. The resin composition contains 0.2-30×10atom/mmof lithium 6 and 0.05-8×10atom/mmof boron 10 and is in such a form that the average diameter of inscribed spheres is 5 mm or less. A neutron scintillator is formed of a resin-based composite having a plurality of parts formed of the aforesaid resin composition and supplementing part(s), in which the content of the neutron-capturing isotope is not more than ½ of the content of the neutron-capturing isotope in the resin composition. The ratio of the distance between the centers of inscribed spheres in the individual parts formed of the resin composition to the sum of the diameters of the inscribed spheres therein is 1.2 or greater.
