Abstract :
A new method to discriminate thermal neutrons against γ-rays using a radiation damaged LiBaF3 : Ce, Rb scintillation crystal is presented. Discrimination is based on the scintillation pulse shape which for thermal neutrons is very different than that for γ-rays because different scintillation mechanisms are involved. Efficient suppression of γ-rays with an energy from a few keV to a few MeV is possible.
