Pulse Shape Discrimination of low-energy nuclear and electron recoils for improved particle identification in NaI:Tl Open
The scintillation mechanism in NaI:Tl crystals produces different pulse shapes that are dependent on the incoming particle type. The time distribution of scintillation light from nuclear recoil events decays faster than for electron recoil…
