Abstract :
NE-213 liquid scintillation detectors are currently used in radiation fields consisting of both gamma rays and fast neutrons and are an excellent tool for differentiating between each type of radiation via their respective interactions. In this experiment, an analysis was performed on an NE-213 liquid scintillation detector to investigate the effects of temperature changes on the light output. The two effects measured were the amount of the individual light decay components have to the total pulse height and the total gain of the system as a function of temperature.
