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…
Single-Volume Neutron Scatter Camera for High-Efficiency Neutron Imaging and Spectroscopy
Joshua Braverman, James Brennan, Erik Brubaker +9
Neutron detection provides an effective method to detect, locate, and characterize sources of interest to nuclear security applications. Current neutron imaging systems based on do…
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…
The Physics and Nuclear Nonproliferation Goals of WATCHMAN: A WAter CHerenkov Monitor for ANtineutrinos
M. Askins, M. Bergevin, A. Bernstein +23
This article describes the physics and nonproliferation goals of WATCHMAN, the WAter Cherenkov Monitor for ANtineutrinos. The baseline WATCHMAN design is a kiloton scale gadolinium…
Improved Fast Neutron Spectroscopy via Detector Segmentation
N. S. Bowden, P. Marleau, J. T. Steele +3
Organic scintillators are widely used for fast neutron detection and spectroscopy. Several effects complicate the interpretation of results from detectors based upon these material…
