Fabrication of Black Body Grids by Thick Film Printing for Quantitative Neutron Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Neutron imaging offers deep penetration through many high-Z materials while also having high sensitivity to certain low-Z isotopes such as ¹H, ⁶Li, and ¹⁰B. This unique combination of properties has made neutron imaging an attractive tool for a wide range of material science and engineering applications. However, measurements made by neutron imaging or tomography are generally qualitative in nature due to the inability of detectors to discriminate between neutrons which have been transmitted through the sample and neutrons which are scattered by the sample or within the detector. Recent works have demonstrated that deploying a grid of small black bodies (BBs) in front of the sample can allow for the scattered neutrons to be measured at the BB locations and
