Original Abstract
In this work, we compare the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties of newly developed liquid scintillator LSB-200, EJ-299-33A, BC-501A, stilbene, p-terphenyl, and Hidex Aqualight in neutron field generated by the LVR-15 reactor with silicon filter utilization. Pulses from the scintillators are processed by the Neutron-Gamma spectrometer. This spectrometric system with fast digitizer card contains two analog-digital converters with a resolution of 12 bits and sampling frequency 500 x 10(6) Hz. For photomultiplier linearity improvement, the active divider has been used. Measured data from scintillators have been processed using the integration method and compared. The results are presented.
