Neutron-Gamma Pulse Shape Discrimination Using Organic Scintillators With Silicon Photomultiplier Readout

Neutron generator burst timing measured using a pulse shape discrimination plastic scintillator with silicon photomultiplier readout

An EJ-299-34 plastic scintillator with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout was used to measure the fast neutron output of a pulsed Thermo-Fisher A-325 Deuterium-Tritium sealed tube neutron generator (STNG). The SiPM signals were handled by a prototype digital pulse processing system, based on a free-running analogue to digital converter feeding a digital signal processor (DSP). Pulse shape d...

Pulse-shape discrimination with PbWO4 crystal scintillators

The light output, α/β ratio, and pulse shape have been investigated at −25◦ C with PbWO4 crystal scintillators undoped, and doped by F, Eu, Mo, Gd and S. The fast 0.01 − 0.06 μs and middle 0.1 − 0.5 μs components of scintillation decay were observed for all the samples. Slow components of scintillation signal with the decay times 1− 3 μs and 13− 28 μs with the total intensity up to ≈ 50% have b...
