In this work we compare the pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties of 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 Neutron-Gamma spectrometer. This spectrometric system with fast digitizer card contains two analog-digital (A/D) converters with a resolution of 12 bits and sampling frequency 500 MHz. For photomultiplier (PMT) linearity improvement active divider has been used. Measured data from scintillators have been processed using the integration method and compared. Results are presented.
Key words: organic scintillators / neutron / gamma / impulse separation / FPGA / FoM / LVR-15
