Herein we report the progress towards an organic glass scintillator with fast and thermal neutron sensitivity providing “triple” pulse shape discrimination (PSD) through the inclusion of a boron-incorporated aromatic molecule. The commercially available molecule 2-(p-tolyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane (TDB) can be readily synthesized in one step using inexpensive materials and incorporated into the organic glass scintillator at 20% by weight or 0.25% 10B by mass. In addition, we demonstrate that TDB can be easily scaled up and formulated into organic glass scintillator samples to produce a thermal neutron capture signal with a light yield equivalent to 120.4 ± 3.7 keVee, which is the highest value reported in the literature to date.

The light output, time resolution, pulse shape discrimination (PSD), neutron light output, and interaction position reconstruction of melt-cast small-molecule organic glass bar scintillators were measured. The trans-stilbene organic scintillator detects fast neutrons and gamma rays with high efficiency and exhibits excellent PSD, but the manufacturing process is slow and expensive and its light output in response to neutrons is anisotropic. Small-molecule organic glass bars offer an easy-to-implement and cost-effective solution to these problems. These properties were characterized to evaluate the efficacy of constructing a compact, low-voltage neutron and gamma-ray imaging system using organic glass bars coupled to silicon photomultiplier arrays. A complete facility for melt-casting organic glass scintillators was setup at the University of Michigan. 6×6×50 mm3 glass bars were produced and the properties listed above were characterized. The first neutron image using organic glass was produced in simple backprojection.
