Abstract
Apparatus and method for separating neutron-induced 4He (or other nuclei) recoil from background, which is predominantly gamma-ray induced electrons and cosmic rays, using software analysis of digitized electrical pulses generated in a six tube, high-pressure (11 bar) helium-4 (4He) detector, are described. Individual electrical pulses from the detector were recorded using a 12-bit digitizer, and differences in pulse rise time and amplitudes, due to different energy loss of neutrons and gamma rays, are used for neutron/gamma ray separation.
