Abstract
High-resolution inorganic scintillators such as lanthanum bromochloride are commonly used for their high light yield and excellent energy resolution. By taking advantage of the neutron capture cross section of the constituent elements in the makeup of such materials it becomes possible to extract additional functionality to produce a combined high-resolution gamma ray and neutron detector. The method of pulse shape discrimination (PSD) allows us to detect neutrons in parallel to their gamma-ray response. This study presents the neutron response via PSD for scintillator-photodetector configurations for inorganic trihalide materials. We will also present the detector's performance in identifying neutrons from a range of neutron sources including AmBe, 252 Cf, and SNM.
