Pulse shape discrimination in helium-4 scintillation detectors

Further study of CdWO4 crystal scintillators as detectors for high sensitivity 2β experiments: scintillation properties and pulse-shape discrimination

Energy resolution, light yield, non-proportionality in the scintillation response, α/β ratio, pulse shape for γ rays and α particles were studied with CdWO4 crystal scintillators. Some indication for a difference in the emission spectra for γ rays and α particles was observed. No dependence of CdWO4 pulse shape on emission spectrum wavelengths under laser, α particles and γ ray excitation was o...

Scintillation Pulse Shape Discrimination in a Two-Phase Xenon Time Projection Chamber

The energy and electric field dependence of pulse shape discrimination in liquid xenon have been measured in a 10 gm two-phase xenon time projection chamber. We have demonstrated the use of the pulse shape and charge-to-light ratio simultaneously to obtain a leakage below that achievable by either discriminant alone. A Monte Carlo is used to show that the dominant fluctuation in the pulse shape...

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...

Pulse-shape discrimination of La halide scintillators

The bright scintillators LaCl3:Ce and LaBr3:Ce were tested for a–g pulse-shape discrimination (PSD). PSD is demonstrated for LaCl3:Ce but not for LaBr3:Ce: r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
