Abstract

Pulse shape discrimination performances of single stilbene crystal, EJ-299-33 plastic and 6 Li loaded plastic scintillators have been compared. Pulse Gradient Analysis pulse shape discrimination algorithm has been tested for each scintillator sample, assessing their neutron/gamma separation. In this study each scintillator sample was irradiated with a 252Cf neutron source and, a real-time fast digitiser was used to collect the data. The figure-of-merit was utilised to compare the discrimination quality of the tested scintillator samples.
