摘要: Abstract The zero-crossing technique of pulse-shape discrimination, coupled with constant fraction timing and low-noise, low-walk amplification techniques, has been utilized to study discrimination over a dynamic range 200:1. system uses commercially available components throughout. It is shown that figure merit the peak-to-valley ratio in time distribution are simultaneously necessary evaluate effectiveness operating large range. combination NE218 scintillator bi-alkali photomultiplier tube provides superior characteristics as compared NE213 mono-alkali tube.
