Characterization of a silicon photo-multiplier array with summing board as a photo-multiplier tube replacement in organic scintillator assemblies

Melinda Sweany, Peter Marleau, Chris Allwork +2

We report on the energy, timing, and pulse-shape discrimination performance of cylindrical 5 cm diameter x 5 cm thick and 7 cm diameter x 7 cm thick {\it trans}-stilbene crystals r…

Source detection at 100 meter standoff with a time-encoded imaging system

J. Brennan, E. Brubaker, M. Gerling +6

We present the design, characterization, and testing of a laboratory prototype radiological search and localization system. The system, based on time-encoded imaging, uses the atte…

Application of Bayes' theorem for pulse shape discrimination

Mateusz Monterial, Peter Marleau, Shaun Clarke +1

A Bayesian approach is proposed for pulse shape discrimination of photons and neutrons in liquid organic scinitillators. Instead of drawing a decision boundary, each pulse is assig…
