摘要: An anti-coincidence shielding γ-ray detector has been designed to study Compton suppression and cosmic rays anti-coincidence based on a LaBr3(Ce)/CsI(Tl) phoswich scintillator, where the LaBr3(Ce) scintillator is chosen as the main crystal completely surrounded by the CsI(Tl) scintillator. Since the differences in their pulse shapes, a series of studies have been conducted using pulse shape analysis (PSA) methods. By using digital charge integration (QDC), the energy resolutions of the detector are obtained, being 3.7% for 662 keV of 137Cs , 3.1% for 1173 keV and 2.8% for 1332 keV of 60Co after excluding the influence of cascade γ rays. This detector can suppress the Compton continuum by 2∼5 times for 137Cs/60Co based on Fast and Slow Component Ratios (FCR-SCR). Furthermore, almost all cosmic rays can be rejected by filtering events above 10 MeV in an in-beam spectrum analysis. It clearly shows that this anti-coincidence shielding γ-ray detector can be used for low level radioactivity measurements as well as high energy γ rays measurements.
