Abstract
A commercial boron-loaded liquid scintillator EJ-339 A was studied, using a 252Cf source with/without polyethylene moderator, to examine the possibility of discriminating slow-neutron induced events in 10B from fast-neutron events, resulting from proton recoils, and gamma-ray events. Despite the strong light quenching associated with neutron induced events in 10B, correct classification of these events is shown to be possible with the aid of digital signal processing.
