Abstract—

To detect reactor antineutrinos, the reaction of their interaction with a proton (inverse beta decay) can be used. As a result of inverse beta-decay reaction, a neutron and a positron are produced. A positron can be detected with a plastic scintillator. To detect a neutron, a scintillator based on ZnS(Ag) with the addition of a neutron capturer 6Li or 10B can be used. A neutron module for a solid-state neutrino detector is being developed at MEPhI. The results of testing such module produced on the basis of the scintillation composition LRB-2 (ZnS(Ag) + B2О3) are presented.
