“…All three methods produce similar quality of PSD to digital methods previously presented [23,25,12] and have been shown for the first time to produce PSD at higher energies of a quality similar to the state-of-the-art in analogue implementation of PSD [26]. Neutron energy spectra derived from these data (Fig.…”

“…Firstly, the development of solid (plastic) polyvinyltoluene-based detectors [10][11][12] which exhibit PSD capability removes the toxic and fire hazards associated with most liquid scintillators. Secondly, the emergence of digital data acquisition and processing systems allows a number of flexible pulse shape discrimination algorithms to be implemented and dynamically optimised in software form [13][14][15].…”

A neutron spectrometer based on a single EJ299-33 plastic scintillator ( cm diameter cm) is described. A digital implementation of pulse shape discrimination is used to separate events associated with neutrons from those associated with gamma-rays. Measurements made using a ns-pulsed neutron beam are used to produce response functions of the detector for neutrons over the energy range 10 -100 MeV. These lineshapes are used to test the capability of the spectrometer to produce neutron energy spectra, via the unfolding of pulse height spectra, for use in neutron fields having any type of time structure. The results are compared with those from a similar spectrometer constructed from EJ301 liquid scintillator.

“…Moreover, together with NewChim experiment (Ct,LNS) they are studying the response of the new EJ299-33A plastic scintillator [4]. Thanks to PSD and good timing this scintillator may allow a simultaneous neutron and charged particle detection [5], substituting CsI(Tl) crystals, widely used in nuclear physics.…”

Neutron detection is a broad field for fundamental research and applications. Its development is presently following an evolutionary scenario when the known detector technologies are being improved in their performances. Important advances are made by developing Pulse Shape Discrimination capable plastic and polysiloxane scintillators, which combine n/γ separation with handling simplicity of solid scintillators. GEM and MicroMega detectors promise to make a breakthrough in the neutron imaging applications, providing a good spacial resolution combined with a large detector area. Diamond detectors allow to exploit the semiconductor detector advantages in very high neutron fluxes of fission or fusion reactors. These and many other developments are ongoing and will be implemented in upcoming experiments and applied research facilities. INFN Workshop on Future Detectors for HL-LHC
