Abstract

CdZnTe (CZT) crystal is one of the most attractive materials used for the new type radiation detector due to its excellent material properties. The direct-radiation response of CZT detector to 14 MeV neutron was calculated by Monte-Carlo code MCNP. The measurement of the CZT detector to 14 MeV neutron was performed on ING-103 pulsed neutron generator. The results indicate that the theoretical value accords with the experimental result. When coverage factor is 2, the expand uncertainty is less than 14%. With the sensitivity of 1.28×10-16 C·cm2 to 14 MeV neutron, the CZT detector can be applied to the high-intensity pulsed neutron measurement.
