Development of position and n/g discriminant neutron detector modules
ORAL
Abstract
We present progress in the development of a neutron detector module made with p-terphenyl, a bright, fast, n/g discriminating solid organic scintillator. The module is comprised of medium sized p-terphenyl crystals that have been optically coupled together to create a pseudo-bar module. While only relying on two photo detectors the PB is capable of distinguishing interactions between six or more crystals. Furthermore, the module retains the p-terphenyl's pulse shape discrimination (PSD) capability. Here we present the characteristics of the module -- the pulse shape and position discrimination, as well as the timing resolution, and briefly discuss future plans for these modules.
