Value-Assigned Pulse Shape Discrimination for Neutron Detectors

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...

An Embedded Microprocessor Design for the Pulse Shape Discrimination of a Plastic Scintillating Neutron Detector

Kaua‘i Community College (Kaua‘i CC) is presently participating in an effort to develop a space industry in Hawai‘i. This effort includes future launches of University of Hawai‘i supported micro-class satellites from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kaua‘i. Kaua‘i CC’s participation is represented by operation and maintenance of a ground station, located on campus, to suppor...

Pulse-shape Discrimination for Identification of Neutron Sources Using the Bc-501a Liquid Scintillator

Fast and accurate identification of neutron sources is very important in nuclear nonproliferation and international safeguards applications. Commonly, the identification of neutron spectra relies on unfolding procedures, which requires the solution of an ill-posed problem. In this paper, we present a new application of an existing technique, which can be used for neutron source identification w...
