Detailed characterization of the newly available plastic scintillator (EJ-299-33A) having the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) property has been carried out in case of a large-sized detector (5 in.$\times$5 in.). The pulse height response…
We have developed a detector, consisting of a cryogenic calorimeter with a scintillating crystal as absorber, and a second calorimeter for the detection of the scintillation light, both operated at 12 mK. Using a CaWO4 crystal with a mass…
Scintillators have long been known as radiation detectors and are still used in various applications. Recently, scintillators containing $^6$Li have been developed as neutron detectors and have attracted attention. $^6$Li absorbs thermal…
