TL;DR: In this article, a 1-parameter fitting procedure is proposed to extract information on the particle type and energy, and the performance of this method in terms of energy resolution and n=g discrimination is analyzed, together with the capability to identify and resolve pile-up events.

TL;DR: A method and analysis applicable to neutron-rich nuclei has been developed, allowing for a precise determination of neutron skins in nuclei as a function of neutron excess.
Journal ArticleDOI
An optimized C6D6 detector for studies of resonance-dominated (n,γ) cross-sections
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical comparison of the existing detector concepts by means of detailed GEANT simulations revealed large differences in neutron sensitivity, and based on these simulations, an optimized detector was developed and successfully tested.
