Fast-neutron detection and pulse shape discrimination with diphenylanthracene and tetraphenylbutadiene

In this paper we report on fast-neutron detection and pulse shape discrimination with 9,10-diphenylanthracene and 1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene. Our research indicates that these organic scintillators have high light yields of up to 20,000 ph/MeV, a fast scintillation decay of about 20 ns, very good fast-neutron detection, and excellent neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination.
