A possibility to use the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal of neutron-irradiated lithium carbonate for thermal neutron fluence measurements has been investigated. The following aspects of the system have been studied: peak-to-peak signal amplitude as a function of thermal neutron fluence, signal fading, signal repeatability, sample batch homogeneity, and zero-fluence response of the probes. It has been concluded that lithium carbonate can be used as a material sensitive to thermal neutron fluences.
研究了利用中子辐照碳酸锂的电子顺磁共振(EPR)信号进行热中子注量测量的可能性。对该系统的以下方面进行了研究:峰峰值信号幅度随热中子注量的变化、信号衰减、信号重复性、样品批次均匀性以及探头的零注量响应。得出的结论是,碳酸锂可用作对热中子注量敏感的材料。
