Pulse-Shape Discrimination of CaF2(Eu)
arXiv:1007.4750 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2010.07.055
Abstract
We measured the decay time of the scintillation pulses produced by electron and nuclear recoils in CaF2(Eu) by a new fitting method. In the recoil energy region 5-30 keVee, we found differences of the decay time between electron and nuclear recoil events. In the recoil energy region above 20 keVee, we found that the decay time is independent of the recoil energy.
