Neutron yields from thick Be targets bombarded with deuterons or protons
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral neutron yield per unit beam charge on the Be target was determined by using time-of-flight techniques and the (n, γ) discrimination properties of an NE213 scintillation detector.

Pulse shape discrimination
TL;DR: In this article, a method for separating the scintillation signals from particles with different specific ionization is described which is relatively insensitive to signal amplitude, based upon a measurement of the zero-crossing time for signals produced by RC differentiation of dynode voltage pulses.

Time Dependence of Scintillations and the Effect on Pulse-Shape Discrimination

TL;DR: In this paper, a straightforward technique for pulse-shape discrimination is described; it consists in measuring the time difference between the start and the instant at which the integrated photomultiplier pulse reaches a specified fraction of its final amplitude.
