Thin Film Polymer Composite Scintillators for Thermal Neutron Detection

Table 1

Ranges of charged particles.

Material	α ^2+ (5.48 MeV)	α ^2+ (2.05 MeV)	𝑡^+ (2.73 MeV)
PS	39.1 µm	10.1 µm	61.8 µm
^6LiF^a	20.8 µm	5.81 µm	33.1 µm

Ranges of charged particles were calculated using SRIM-2011 [12]. Reported values are averages from simulating 500 ion interactions.
^aDensity and molar mass of ⁶LiF were adjusted for 97.6% ⁶Li enrichment.
