Neutron/gamma-ray discrimination through measures of fit
Statistical tests and their underlying measures of fit can be utilized to separate neutron/gamma-ray pulses in a mixed radiation field. In this article, first the application of a sample statistical test is explained. Fit measurement-based methods require true pulse shapes to be used as reference for discrimination. This requirement makes practical implementation of these methods difficult; typically another discrimination approach should be employed to capture samples of neutrons and gamma-rays before running the fit-based technique. In this article, we also propose a technique to eliminate this requirement. These approaches are applied to several sets of mixed neutron and gamma-ray pulses obtained through different digitizers using stilbene scintillator in order to analyze them and measure their discrimination quality

Perspective liquid scintillators for spectrometry of neutron and gamma radiation
This paper presents some results of the development of two new scintillation detectors usable for the detection and spectrometry of neutron and photon components of the mixed field. It is a series of liquid organic scintillators containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Elements of individual scintillator designs are arranged in various chemical bonds defining physical and chemical properties of the scintillators. These scintillators have advantageous useful properties. They are non-hygroscopic, not poisonous and are not sensitive to contact with the outside atmosphere and can be stored in conventional laboratory containers
Digital Spectrometric System for Characterization of Mixed Neutron – Gamma Field in the Experimental Reactor LR-0
LR-0 reactor is an experimental reactor in NRI Rez, Czech Republic. So far an analog apparatus was used for measurements of the space-energy distribution of the neutron gamma mixed field inside the reactor vessel. Recently we measured in LR-0 with fully digital apparatus using Agilent digitizer and compared our results with older established results from analog apparatus and also with MCNP calculations
