Stilbene and NE213 organic scintillators are commonly used for neutron and gamma-ray detection in mixed n/gamma fields due to their pulse shape discrimination properties. A system for n/gamma digital pulse shape discrimination (DPSD) and simultaneous pulse height analysis using a commercial 12-bit 200 MHz transient recorder is presented. The results of measurements performed on the fusion experiment FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) are described. The importance of DPSD for fusion applications and its advantages with respect to analog PSD are analyzed

Abstract
Stilbene and NE213 organic scintillators are commonly used for neutron and gamma-ray detection in mixed n/gamma fields due to their pulse shape discrimination properties. A system for n/gamma digital pulse shape discrimination (DPSD) and simultaneous pulse height analysis using a commercial 12-bit 200 MHz transient recorder is presented. The results of measurements performed on the fusion experiment FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) are described. The importance of DPSD for fusion applications and its advantages with respect to analog PSD are analyzedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
