I.; Kirsanov, M. A.; Klimanov, S. G.; Кирсанов, Михаил Алексеевич; Климанов, Сергей Геннадиевич© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.In this paper, we investigated the efficiency of several known and new methods of digital pulse shape discrimination for neutrons and gamma quanta. Experimental data were obtained on a setup consists of a Pu-Be neutron source, organic p-terphenyl scintillation detector and 14 bits, 500 MHz sampling rate flash-ADC with capability to store and upload to the host computer long waveforms for further analysis. A comparison is made in between the results of using traditional and new methods for calculating the signal separation efficiency of Figure of Merit (FOM). The best known from the literature value of the efficiency of neutron and gamma quanta discrimination for the Pu-Be source is FOM = 1.5. We obtained the separation efficiency FOM = 1.77 in the scintillation detector with the p-terphenyl crystal, by a new method. Note also that for the known liquid scintillator BC-501A FOM≈1. A new method of scintillation detector pulse shape discrimination from neutrons and gamma quanta is used to detect the neutron yield from compact neutron generator that is created on the basis of carbon nanotubes.
- ПубликацияОткрытый доступIdentification of neutrons and gamma rays using a combination of three algorithms for separating signals of the scintillation detector(2020) Chepurnov, A. S.; Kirsanov, M. A.; Klimanov, S. G.; Кирсанов, Михаил Алексеевич; Климанов, Сергей Геннадиевич© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Scintillation detectors with organic scintillators are widely used for fast neutrons detection in high gamma ray background. The peculiarity of this type of detector is that the pulse shape depends on the type of the detected particle. Traditionally, the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) histogram is used to determine the number of detected neutrons. The PSD parameter is calculated from the shape of the detector pulse and assigned to each pulse. A typical PSD histogram contains two peaks corresponding to neutrons and gamma rays that overlap in the region between the peaks. With this approach, it is impossible to identify each individual signal in the area between the peaks. Therefore, it is not possible to calculate the overall signal identification coefficient. We have proposed a new method for the identification of neutrons and gamma quanta, which includes a combination of three signal separation algorithms: The traditional histogram PSD, the dependence of the area of signals on their amplitude, Tau histogram (tau means the fall constant of the detector pulses). This combination of three algorithms makes it possible to calculate the value of the signal identification coefficient. To test a new method for identifying neutrons and gamma quanta, we used a Pu-Be neutron source, a scintillation detector with a p-Terphenyl crystal and a CAEN DT5730 Digitizer (14 bit, 500 MHz). When a scintillation detector registered neutron from a Pu-Be source, the signal identification coefficient was 91.6%. A new method for identifying signals from a scintillation detector is used to register neutrons at the light ion accelerator.
- ПубликацияОткрытый доступSeparation of signals from neutrons and gamma quanta by the method of normalized signals(2020) Chepurnov, A. S.; Kubankin, A. S.; Kirsanov, M. A.; Klimanov, S. G.; Nazarov, I. V.; Кирсанов, Михаил Алексеевич; Климанов, Сергей Геннадиевич© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.The solution of the problem how to register fast neutrons in the presence of intense gamma radiation is required when solving such fundamental and applied problems as registration of the neutron and gamma background in underground low-background experiments (the low background detectors of the neutrino and dark matter); beam diagnostic at particle accelerators; radiation monitoring at nuclear facilities, nuclear medicine; environmental monitoring. To separate signals from neutrons and gamma quanta, scintillation detectors with organic scintillators are used. The best scintillators are organic crystals of stilbene and p-Terphenyl. The efficiency of separating signals from neutrons and gamma quanta can be increased using various methods of digital signal processing of the pulse shapes of the registered signals. A parameter traditionally called the Figure of Merit (FOM) is used to compare these methods. The experimental setup consisted of a Pu-Be neutron source, a scintillation detector with organic crystal p-Terphenyl, a Hamamatsu R6094 photomultiplier, a CAEN DT5730 Digitizer (500 MHz, 14bit), which store the shape of each pulse for the following digital processing. A new "method of normalized signals"was developed. Three variants of the new method of normalized signals are described, which give the following FOM values: 1.6, 1.7, and 2.1. The traditional method of signals separation on the same array of experimental data showed the efficiency FOM = 1.6. The new method of signal separation is used to register fast neutrons in the installation dedicated for the development of a compact neutron generator, which is necessary for the calibration of low-background detectors of neutrinos and dark matter particles.
