The high quality measurements of neutron energy spectra are required in various fields of research and applications. However, in many cases the contribution of gamma background causes the inaccuracy of neutron spectrum. Therefore, the discrimination of gamma-ray events in neutron spectrum is necessary. In this article, an algorithm for digital implementation of the chargecomparison method for n/γ discrimination based on Digital Signal Processing technique is described. Furthermore, the APX-500 board was used as a hardware for the development of a Pulse Shape Disciminator, and is equipped with ADC ADM-414 14 bit-100 MSPS. The fully system has been tested with EJ-301 detector, using 252Cf neutron source.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
