Abstract:Scintillating materials emit light when exposed to ionizing radiation or particles and are employed for the detection of nuclear threats, medical imaging, high‐energy physics, and other usages. For some of these applications, it is vital to distinguish neutrons and charged particles from γ‐rays. This is achievable by pulse shape discrimination (PSD), a time‐gated technique, which exploits that the scintillation kinetics can depend on the nature of the incident radiation. However, it proved difficult to realize… Show more
