Description
In this work we present the results of the study of components for a future modular reactor antineutrino detector which use inverse beta decay reaction for antineutrino detection and based on solid-state plastic scintillator and lithium scintillator for neutron capture $^{6}$Li$_{2}$CaSiO$_{4}$ . Studies of samples of plastic scintillators have been carried out: estimates of the energy resolution and light collection inhomogeneity have been obtained; for the $^{6}$Li$_{2}$CaSiO$_{4}$ scintillator, an estimate of the neutron capture efficiency and energy resolution have been obtained. We also present the results of Monte Carlo simulations performed using the GEANT4
