متن کاملDigital pulse-shape discrimination of fast neutrons and γ rays
Discrimination of the detection of fast neutrons and γ rays in a liquid scintillator detector has been investigated using digital pulse-processing techniques. An experimental setup with a 252Cf source, a BC-501 liquid scintillator detector, and a BaF2 detector was used to collect waveforms with a 100 Ms/s, 14 bit sampling ADC. Three identical ADC’s were combined to increase the sampling frequen...
متن کاملNeutron Capture Gamma Rays ( Thermal Neutron
Detection of landmines using nuclear techniques has been studied extensively since the late 1940s. Nuclear techniques look at either a return radiation, which is characteristic of explosive components that are infrequently found in soil (e.g., nitrogen or carbon), or an intensity change of a noncharacteristic scattered radiation, which is a function of a parameter that differs between soil and ...
متن کاملDigital discrimination of neutrons and gamma-rays in liquid scintillators using wavelets
A novel algorithm for the digital discrimination of neutrons and gamma-rays in a mixed radiation field is presented. Most of the pulse shape discrimination methods in scintillation detection systems use time-domain features of the signal (e.g. charge comparison method or constant-time discrimination). However, there are no frequency-domain discrimination methods up to date in the literature. Ou...
متن کاملPulse-height distributions of neutron and gamma rays from plutonium-oxide samples
We present new results on neutron and gamma-ray pulse-height distributions (PHDs) measured with liquid scintillators from five plutonium-oxide samples of varying mass and burnup and a Cf isotopic source. We show that the analysis of the pulse-height distributions can be used to easily distinguish the fissile material (plutonium oxide) from the Cf source. Moreover, the slope of the measured puls...
