Digital neutron/gamma discrimination with an organic scintillator at energies between 1 MeV and 100 MeV
Abstract
Three different digital implementations of pulse shape discrimination for pulses from an EJ301 liquid scintillator detector are presented, and illustrated with neutrons and gamma-rays produced by an Am-Be radioisotopic source, a D-T generator and beams produced by cyclotron-accelerated protons of energies 42, 62 and 100 MeV on a Li target. A critical comparison between the three methods is provided.
