 note = {ORCID　0000-0003-0920-2154, Thermal neutron detection efficiency of the single crystal CVD diamond detector (SDD) equipping 1.9 μm-thick 6LiF thermal neutron converter, which induces the energetic ions through the 6Li(n,α)3H reaction, was evaluated comprehensively using a charge-integral based pulse shape discrimination (PSD) method and radiation transport calculation by PHITS. The PSD method applied in this work successfully separated the pulses induced by energetic tritons, alpha particles and other types of radiation. The detection efficiency of tritons was consistent with the radiation transport calculation, although that of alpha particles was lower than the estimation. The overall thermal neutron detection efficiency was obtained by summing detection efficiencies of tritons and alpha particles. Approximately 29% of 6Li(n,α)3H reaction occurred in an effective 1.9 μm-thick 6LiF thermal neutron converter could be detectable as the pulses of tritons (∼ 73%) and alpha particles (23%).},
