[Fast-Neutrons] Fibre scintillators for fast neutron imaging

[Alan Hewat]

Ilan, Thank you for bringing your nice paper
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168900211005390> to
our attention. I was particularly interested in two points you made about
fast neutron scintillators:
1) With a large aperture lens (f/0.95) the small depth of field gives
better resolution than might be expected from thick (10mm) slab
scintillators because you focus on the surface.
2) Already available 250 micron fibre scintillators can be made quite thick
because the fibre coating prevents cross-talk between fibres. If only such
scintillators could be made with areas big enough to cover Michael's 200
micron pixel detector. That's already quite good resolution for hot
neutrons.

Thanks, Alan
