Abstract

A construction of a thermal neutron testing detector with a thin [ZnS(Ag)+⁶LiF] scintillator is described. Results of an investigation of sources of the detector pulse origin and the pulse features in a ground and underground conditions are presented. Measurements of the scintillator own background, registration efficiency and a neutron flux at different objects of the BNO INR RAS were performed. The results are compared with the ones measured by the ³He proportional counter.
