Description

The response of three alkali halide scintillators to neutrons in the range 5 to 100 MeV was investigated with the spallation neutron source at LAMPF/WNR. Scintillating crystals were NaI(Tl), KI(Tl) and CsI(Tl), each 2.5 cm in diameter and 1.2 cm thick. Pulse shapes that depend on particle type were observed for NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) but not for KI(Tl). Pulse height spectra for are reported as a function of neutron energy, and, where pulse shape discrimination was observed, for individual charged-particle groups
