Fig. 6: Die-away time of the 6Li glass composite scintillator detector.
From: Next-generation neutron detection using a 6Li glass scintillator composite
a Top panel: Detector die-away transient measured using the Rossi-α method, where the constant background of the Rossi-α distribution has been subtracted for clarity (solid circles). The red dashed line is a single exponential fit to the data in the range 8–60 µs (as indicated by arrows), and it yielded a decay time of 10.3 ± 0.1 µs. Bottom panel: Residual between the measured data and the fit. b Top panel: Die-away transient calculated using MCNP (open circles). The red dashed line is a single exponential fit to the data in the range 8–60 µs (as indicated by arrows), and it yielded a decay time of 10.21 ± 0.16 µs. Bottom panel: Residual between the calculated MCNP data and the fit. Plots (a) and (b) were normalized to 1 at 8 µs.
