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...

Tomographic Analysis of Neutron and Gamma Pulse Shape Distributions from Liquid Scintillation Detectors at JET

Tomographic analysis of neutron and gamma pulse shape distributions from liquid scintillation detectors at Joint European Torus.

The Joint European Torus (JET, Culham, UK) is the largest tokamak in the world devoted to nuclear fusion experiments of magnetic confined Deuterium (D)/Deuterium-Tritium (DT) plasmas. Neutrons produced in these plasmas are measured using various types of neutron detectors and spectrometers. Two of these instruments on JET make use of organic liquid scintillator detectors. The neutron emission p...

Pulse Shape Discrimination with The Neutron Walls at NCSL

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University has recently completed the Coupled Cyclotron Upgrade. The new facility will concentrate on the study of rare isotopes produced in fragmentation reactions. Neutron-rich unstable isotopes can be investigated via break-up reactions. The resulting neutrons will be detected in two walls of position sensitive detectors. Ea...
