Description
Organic scintillators are capable of providing efficient gamma-ray and
neutron detection in mixed neutron-gamma radiations field. The energy de-
position due to Compton scattered electrons provides major contribution in
response function due to presence of comparatively low atomic number (Z)
elements in organic scintillators. In this work, organic scintillator
EJ-315 is used to study the response functions with non-existence of full energy peaks of standard gamma radioisotopes: Ba-133, Cs-137 and Co-60. The detector is calibrated using Compton edge of experimentally measured
response function. A gamma unfolding procedure is utilized for unfurling
measured as well as simulated response functions or complex gamma spectra. A Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) technique is developed to identify if the signal is generated by a gamma ray or a neutron.
