| Description | In this work, we compare the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties of newly developed liquid scintillator LSB-200, EJ-299-33A, BC-501A, stilbene, p-terphenyl and Hidex Aqualight in neutron field generated by the LVR-15 reactor with silicon filter utilization. Pulses from the scintillators are processed by the Neutron-Gamma spectrometer. This spectrometric system with fast digitizer card contains two analog-digital (A/D) converters with a resolution of 12 bits and sampling frequency 500·10^6 Hz. For photomultiplier (PMT) linearity improvement, the active divider has been used. Measured data from scintillators have been processed using the integration method and compared. The results are presented. |
