Synthesis and processing of lithium-loaded plastic scintillators on the kilogram scale
Michael J. Ford, Elisabeth Aigeldinger, Felicia Sutanto +7
Plastic scintillators that can discriminate between gamma rays, fast neutrons, and thermal neutrons were synthesized and characterized while considering the balance between process…
Pulse-shape discrimination in water-based scintillators
Michael J. Ford, Natalia P. Zaitseva, M. Leslie Carman +4
This work describes a class of liquid scintillators that contain mostly water (>50 wt. % of the entire composition) and can discriminate between interactions induced by neutrons an…
Pulse Pileup Rejection Methods Using a Two-Component Gaussian Mixture Model for Fast Neutron Detection with Pulse Shape Discriminating Scintillator
Andrew Glenn, Qi Cheng, Alan D. Kaplan +1
Pulse shape discriminating scintillator materials in many cases allow the user to identify two basic kinds of pulses arising from two kinds of particles: neutrons and gammas. An un…
Fissile material detection using neutron time-correlations from photofission
R. A. Soltz, A. Danagoulian, E. P. Hartouni +5
The detection of special nuclear materials (SNM) in commercial cargoes is a major objective in the field of nuclear security. In this work we investigate the use of two-neutron tim…
