This is a small 12mm diameter lithium iodide scintillation crystal. This crystal is from a SAIC neutron detector. It was originally coupled to a small PMT. It responds to FAST neutrons very well, so it may be of interest to fusor builders. Even though it is designed for neutrons, it still detects gamma rays too, just turn up the detector gain. The only difference is the spike of light with a neutron capure event is far brighter than any gamma event. This allows you to discriminate the energy by lowering the detector gain so normal gamma background is negligible. All you need to make your own detector head is a small PMT tube or large area PIN photodiode detector. They fit the R-7400 bare can style PMT tubes exactly, but a bigger PMT will give better resolution. I have the suitable PIN photodiode in another listing with a couple high gain amplifier boards. If you need this, here is your chance. This item is pretty hard to find I have lots of lasers and other unique stuff for sale this week.
