Abstract

Preliminary results are presented from a study of neutron irradiation damage in Sapphire and B4C, produced with a fluence of 6×1018 n/cm2 and ~1015 n/cm2, respectively. Measurements were performed at the GiPS facility and the SPONSOR beam at HZDR, and in the PAL spectrometer at NRCN. Bulk and vacancies lifetimes were identified in the Sapphire, ~150ps and ~188ps, respectively, with complete trapping in the irradiation induced vacancies. Irradiation damage in B4C found to be limited to the surface. A single lifetime of ~166ps was measured in both irradiated and non-irradiated samples, and was associated with the bulk.
