TL;DR: In this paper, a possibility of manufacturing plastic scintillators with efficient neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination (PSD) was demonstrated using a system of a polyvinyltoluene (PVT) polymer matrix loaded with a scintilling dye, 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO).

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of impurities connected with the vicinal and sectoral structure of rapidly grown KDP crystals is described, and it has been shown that to decrease the effect of impurity and to obtain crystals of high homogeneity, rapid growth should be performed at high supersaturations outside the dead zone and the region of the sharp increase of the growth rate with supersaturation.

TL;DR: In this article, the scintillation properties of trans-stilbene crystals grown for the first time by application of the solution growth technique to the scale of 10 cm are reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of a system which can operate without spontaneous nucleation at supersaturations as high as 20% was described, and the importance of using continuous filtration for optical quality of the crystals was demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of transparent, single-phase materials with pulse shape discrimination (PSD) properties for simultaneous detection of thermal and fast neutrons discriminated from gamma radiation is presented.
