Moisture effect in prompt gamma measurements from soil samples.

The variation in intensity of 1.78MeV silicon, 6.13MeV oxygen, and 2.

Performance tests of a large volume cerium tribromide (CeBr3) scintillation detector.

The response of a large cylindrical 76mm×76mm (height×diameter) cerium tribromide (CeBr3) detector was measured for prompt gamma rays. The total intrinsic activity of the CeBr3 detector, which was measured over 0.33-3.

Pulse height tests of a large diameter fast LaBr₃:Ce scintillation detector.

The pulse height response of a large diameter fast 100 mm × 100 mm LaBr3:Ce detector was measured for 0.1-10 MeV gamma-rays. The detector has a claimed time resolution of 608 ps for 511 keV gamma rays, but has relatively poor energy resolution due to the characteristics of its fast photomultiplier.

Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen determination in proxy material samples using a LaBr3:Ce detector.

Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen concentrations were measured in caffeine, urea, ammonium acetate and melamine bulk samples via 14 MeV neutron inelastic scattering using a LaBr3:Ce detector. The samples tested herein represent drugs, explosives and benign materials, respectively. Despite its intrinsic activity, the LaBr3:Ce detector performed well in detecting the hydrogen, carbon and oxygen elements.
