Trans-stilbene(TSB) crystal is an excellent scintillation material which can be used for fast neutron detection in strong γ ray environment. Because of the superiority of solution growth in crystal quality and performance, it is necessary to study the growth technique of TSB crystal in solution systematically. This paper has introduced the process and progress of TSB crystal growth by solution cooling method at home and abroad, analyzed the research results, and pointed out the problems that have yet to be solved in the growth process of TSB solution.
