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...
متن کاملComparative analysis of pulse shape discrimination methods in a Li loaded plastic scintillator
Three algorithms for discriminating between fast neutrons, thermal neutrons and gamma rays in a Li loaded plastic scintillator have been compared. Following a literature review of existing pulse shape discrimination techniques, the performance of the charge comparison method, triangular filtering and frequency gradient analysis were investigated in this work. The scintillator was exposed to thr...

Detecting the antineutrinos emitted by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle and crust could provide a direct measurement of the total abundance of uranium and thorium in the Earth. In calculating the antineutrino flux at specific sites, the local geology of the crust and the background from the world’s nuclear power reactors are important considerations. Employing a global crustal ma...
