Neutron-gamma discrimination with UGAB scintillator using zero-crossing method
The new-type scintillator, Ultima Gold Alpha–Beta (UGAB), was studied for its neutron–gamma discrimination capability. The figure-of-merit and peak-to-valley values for the neutron–gamma discrimination spectra of UGAB scintillator when exposed...
On timing response improvement of an NE213 scintillator attached to two PMTs
A 5 cm diameter by 6 cm height NE213 scintillator attached to two XP2282 PHOTONIS photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) exposed to 241Americium–Berylium (Am–Be) neutron–gamma source has been used for timing response studies. The neutron–gamma discrimination...
A comparative study on neutron-gamma discrimination with NE213 and UGLLT scintillators using zero-crossing method
The neutron-gamma discrimination capability of the new-type UGLLT liquid scintillator has been compared with NE213 (or its Bicron equivalent, BC501A). An Am-Be combined neutron-gamma isotopic source and a zero-crossing circuitry were used to explore...
Digital neutron-gamma discrimination with scintillators: An innovative approach
In this paper, a digital neutron–gamma discrimination (DNGD) method with an NE213 scintillator has been proposed in which the anode pulse is divided into two different pulses, one representing the amplitude and the other characterizes the DNGD...
Lightguide influence on timing response of scintillation detectors
In this paper, using zero-crossing method, the neutron–gamma discrimination has been discussed to estimate the contribution of light transport on the timing characteristics of scintillation detectors. Both experimental and simulation verifications...
Optimization of pulse processing parameters for digital neutron-gamma discrimination
In this study, a digital neutron-gamma discrimination (DNGD) has been performed based on the pulse-shape discrimination on the anode pulse of a 2″ by 2″ right cylinder BC501A liquid scintillator with a fast data acquisition card (14-bit resolution...
