  1. Electron Recoils

    Linked via "liquid scintillators"

    Theoretical Basis and Kinematics
    The fundamental process governing an electron recoil is the transfer of momentum and energy from an incoming particle (e.g., a muon, a Compton electron, or a positron annihilation product to an atomic electron bound within the detector material. In materials with high electron density, such as liquid scintillators or highly purified water, the interaction cross-section for these events is significantly higher than for [neutron-induce…

  4. Neutron Signal

    Linked via "liquid scintillators"

    Liquid Scintillators (LS)
    In organic liquid scintillators (e.g., mixtures containing pseudocumene and fluorene), the introduction of heavy neutron absorbers, such as dissolved Gadolinium naphthenate, serves the same purpose as in water detectors. However, the capture time distribution is narrower ($\tau_d \approx 10 \text{ }\mu\text{s}$), owing to the higher [moderation powe…
