Background: Organic scintillators are widely used for neutron detection in both basic nuclear
physics and applications. While the proton light yield of organic scintillators has been …

This paper describes the ATHENA platform, an energy tuning assembly, which was
developed to spectrally shape the National Ignition Facility (NIF) deuterium–tritium fusion …

We have developed a Compact Fast Neutron Spectrometer (CFNS) for passive assay of
special nuclear material (SNM) through the observation of fast neutrons. The CFNS consists …

This research presents the characterization methods and results for determining the pulse-
integral response calibration, resolution, efficiency, and heavy charged particle light yield …

The preparation and characterization of novel boron-loaded deuterated liquid scintillators
(BLDLS) are presented for the first time to investigate the performance of a detector sensitive …

Abstract The Compound Array for Transfer Reactions in Nuclear Astrophysics (CATRiNA) is
an array of 16 liquid deuterated-benzene (C 6 D 6) neutron detectors. The fast-response and …

The EJ309 liquid scintillator detector and the developed gamma spectrum unfolding
procedure are used to study the complex gamma spectra. The EJ309 liquid scintillator …

The detection of special nuclear materials (SNM) requires the understanding of nuclear
signatures that allow the discrimination against background. In particular, understanding …

Aiming to improve the spatial resolution of a neutron imaging system (NIS) for 14 MeV fusion
neutrons, an ideal micron resolution capillary detector filled with a high optical index liquid …

This chapter describes the principles of operation of the main types of neutron detector that
are used in nondestructive assay. One section is devoted to gas detectors (3He and BF3) as …
