Abstract

Liquid organic scintillators have long been used for fast-neutron detection due to their fast response and the ability to use pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) to distinguish between neutron and γ-ray interactions. Deuterated liquid organic scintillators have, in addition to the aforementioned properties, structure on their pulse-height spectra due to the different characteristics of n–d vs. n–p scattering.
