The invention relates to a lithium glass detector which comprises 6Li glass scintillators, a light guide, optical glass adhesives, reflective layers, a photoelectric converter, an aluminum light shield, an optical coupling agent, a charge sensitive amplifier and a counting processing circuit. The shape of the light guide is a square, six surfaces are polished, five 6Li glass scintillators are pasted to five surfaces of the six surfaces by the optical glass adhesives, the other surface is a light output surface and is connected to a sensitive area of the photoelectric converter with the optical coupling agent, the outer surfaces of the 6Li glass scintillators are coated with the reflective layers, and the reflective layers are coated with the aluminum light shield. The scintillators are 6Li glass flicker piece structures, the thickness of the pieces is 0.5 to 2 mm, and the pulse amplitude of gamma is significantly reduced. The lithium glass detector is suitable for the application ofa direct-reading neutron dosimeter and has the advantages of high neutron detection efficiency, a small size, a light weight, low power consumption and high anti-interference ability.
