Neutron-gamma discrimination by pulse analysis with superheated drop detector
arXiv:1007.0303 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2010.06.361
Abstract
Superheated drop detector (SDD) consisting of drops of superheated liquid of halocarbon is irradiated to neutrons and gamma-rays from 252Cf fission neutron source and 137Cs gamma source separately. The analysis of pulse height of the signals in the neutron and gamma-ray sensitive temperature provides strong information on the identification of neutron and gamma-ray induced events.
