摘要：The NaI:Tl scintillator is an innovative material for dual-gamma-ray and neutron detection with a low 6Li concentration. To achieve real-time n/γ discrimination, a zero-crossing time comparison algorithm based on trapezoidal pulse shaping was developed. The algorithm can operate efficiently at low sampling rates and was implemented on a single-probe portable digital n/γ discriminator based on a feld-programmable gate array (FPGA). The discriminator and NaI:Tl,6Li detector were tested in a neutron-gamma mixed field produced by an 241Am-Be neutron source to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. The Figure of Merits (FoM) was measured as 2.88 at a sampling rate of 50 MHz, indicating that the discriminator with its embedded algorithm has a promising n/γ discrimination capability. Efficient discrimination at sampling rates of 40 and 25 MHz demonstrates that the capability of this method is not limited by low sampling rates.
