DOI 10.1134/s1547477125701316
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Fast neutron detection requires application of the detector material that is rich in hydrogen with a sufficient level of detection efficiency and the capability to discriminate neutron signals in the presence of undesirable gamma-ray background. In this work, we evaluated the performance of neutron modules with the measurement of gamma-sources. In particular, the light yield of the detectors was calibrated with a set of standard 22Na, 137Cs and 241Am sources by the use of Compton Edge technique. In the meanwhile, the time resolution was estimated by measuring gamma-gamma coincidences with 60Co source.
