Abstract
Photons are measured separately from neutrons in high-energy neutron fields using a NaI(Tl) scintillator, 7.62 cm in diameter and 7.62 cm in length, combined with a pulse-shape discrimination method. The particle discrimination capability for this scintillator is confirmed using a time-of-flight method. Neutron fields were produced by irradiating Li targets with 40 and 80 MeV proton beams at the cyclotron facility in the National Institute of Radiological Sciences. Figures of merit corresponding to particle discrimination for the scintillator at the two neutron fields are improved with higher neutron energies. Photon energy spectra for energies over 6.5 MeV can be measured using the NaI(Tl) scintillator.
