Description
At the present time, a scintillation material $^6$Li$_2$CaSiO$_4$:Eu$^{2+}$ (LCS) is being developed at the NRC “Kurchatov Institute”. This material is designed for neutrons registration by capturing by the $^6$Li isotope. The work presents the possibility of using LCS for neutrons detection after the inverse beta decay reaction ($\bar{\nu_e} + p \rightarrow n+e^{+}$), which is widely used for antineutrinos registration in reactor experiments. It is shown that when using LCS in combination with a plastic scintillator (EJ-200, which acts as a target for antineutrinos and registers positrons), selection by pulse shape allows the signals of two scintillators to be separated, which demonstrates the possibility of using this material in antineutrino experiments.
