Suitability of high-pressure xenon as scintillator for gamma ray spectroscopy
F. Resnati, U. Gendotti, R. Chandra +8
In this paper we report the experimental study of high-pressure xenon used as a scintillator, in the context of developing a gamma ray detector. We measure a light yield near 2 pho…
Tagging fast neutrons from an 241Am/9Be source
J. Scherzinger, J. R. M. Annand, G. Davatz +10
We report on an investigation of the fast-neutron spectrum emitted by 241Am/9Be. Well-understood shielding, coincidence, and time-of-flight measurement techniques are employed to p…
Compton scattering from 12C using tagged photons in the energy range 65 - 115 MeV
L. S. Myers, K. Shoniyozov, M. F. Preston +26
Elastic scattering of photons from 12C has been investigated using quasi-monoenergetic tagged photons with energies in the range 65 - 115 MeV at laboratory angles of 60 deg, 120 de…
A First Comparison of the responses of a He4-based fast-neutron detector and a NE-213 liquid-scintillator reference detector
R. Jebali, J. Scherzinger, J. R. M. Annand +13
A first comparison has been made between the pulse-shape discrimination characteristics of a novel He-based pressurized scintillation detector and a NE-213 liquid-scintillato…
New Measurement of Compton Scattering from the Deuteron and an Improved Extraction of the Neutron Electromagnetic Polarizabilities
L. S. Myers, J. R. M. Annand, J. Brudvik +15
The electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon are fundamental properties that describe its response to external electric and magnetic fields. They can be extracted from Compt…
Tests of the Monte Carlo Simulation of the Photon-Tagger Focal-Plane Electronics at the MAX IV Laboratory
M. F. Preston, L. S. Myers, J. R. M. Annand +5
Rate-dependent effects in the electronics used to instrument the tagger focal plane at the MAX IV Laboratory were recently investigated using the novel approach of Monte Carlo simu…
