Abstract

Phosphors are key components of x-ray framing cameras. On implosion experiments at the National Ignition Facility, the x-ray framing cameras must operate in a harsh neutron induced ionizing radiation. One promising approach of neutron induced background reduction is separation of the neutron background with using difference of x-ray and neutron time-of- flight. To complete x-ray imaging before arrival of the neutron induced radiation to the detector, it is crucial to find a phosphor which has high efficiency and fast decay time. We tested various phosphor materials to optimize design of framing cameras for implosion experiments.
