An integrated radiation detector having a pulse-mode operating photosensor
optically coupled to a gamma sensing element and a neutron sensing
element is disclosed. The detector includes pulse shape and processing
electronics package that uses an analog to digital converter (ADC) and a
charge to digital converter (QDC) to determine scintillation decay times
and classify radiation interactions by radiation type. The pulse shape
and processing electronics package determines a maximum gamma energy from
the spectrum associated with gamma rays detected by the gamma sensing
element to adaptively select a gamma threshold for the neutron sensing
element. A light pulse attributed to the neutron sensing element is a
valid neutron event when the amplitude of the light pulse is above the
gamma threshold.
