Abstract
The quest for choosing the suitable detector for a specific homeland security application that takes an advantage of the neutron activation analysis technique prompted us to investigate properties of three <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex Notation="TeX">$3^{\prime\prime}\times 3^{\prime\prime}$</tex></formula> cylindrical scintillation detectors. The emphasis was put on the detectors' properties in the multi-MeV energy region and their response to the neutron radiation. In this work we compare the energy resolution, efficiency and timing properties of BGO, <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\hbox {LaBr}}_{3}$</tex> </formula> and NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors coupled to Photonis spectrometric photomultiplier tubes.
