Abstract
- The scintillators capable of neutron detection are being the research hotspot recently. In this manuscript, we investigated the possibility of cerium-doped gadolinium aluminium gallium garnet (GAGG: Ce) crystal to achieve neutron gamma discrimination through pulse shape discrimination (PSD) method. PSD is a method based on the principle that the waveforms of scintillation light differ for different particles. The experiments show that it’s hard for single GAGG crystal to distinguish the neutron from the gamma-ray. Therefore, a composite crystal made of gamma-sensitive crystal and GAGG crystal was furtherly developed. Using the 252Cf neutron source, the composite is proven to be capable of discriminating the neutrons from the gamma-ray and the corresponding FOM is 3.33.
