摘要
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector has been used to detect thermal neutrons; along with gadolinium (Gd) used as a neutron converter. Simulation results show that the appropriate thickness of Gd film for CdTe detector is 25 mu m. The Gd/CdTe detector shows the 80 keV, 89 keV and 182 keV gamma ray emission peaks from Gd-155(n, gamma)Gd-156 and Gd-157(n, gamma)Gd-158 reactions.
