摘要
Some scintillating materials offer the possibility of measuring well separated alpha and gamma scintillation response using a single crystal. Eventually aiming at thermal neutron detection using Li-6 or B-10 admixture, pulse shape discrimination measurements were made on three scintillators: CsI:Tl, CsI:Na and pure BaF2 crystals. A very good alpha/gamma discrimination was obtained using Na-22, Am-241(gamma) and Cm-244(alpha) radioactive sources. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
