Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrate the application of a fast waveform digitizer (1 GHz) for neutron spectroscopy. We investigated pulse-shape discrimination between neutrons and γ-rays, timing properties and count rate capabilities of this new experimental method and compared the results with traditional techniques. The present method compares particularly well in the case of particle-type identification in the presence of pulse saturation and in case of high count rate. Excellent timing resolution and good pulse amplitude resolution is demonstrated.
