Neutron/Gamma discrimination code based on trapezoidal filter

Neutron/gamma discrimination techniques are widely applied in scintillator-based neutron diagnostics for present nuclear fusion tokamak experiments (e.g. JET – Neutron Camera and compact neutron spectrometer) and will also be necessary for neutron diagnostics of up-coming machines (e.g. ITER Radial Neutron Camera). Neutron/gamma discrimination in scintillators relies on the fact that the detectors output pulses have different shapes depending on the impinging particle; several discrimination techniques are described in literature such as the charge-integration, curve-fitting and pattern recognition [1].
