Abstract
A pulse shape discrimination system for 6LiF(ZnS) scintillators is described and its electronic layout discussed. Test results under typical operation conditions at the location of a neutron scattering experiment in a light water research reactor are given. They show that the system is able to suppress virtually all spurious (γ and tube noise) pulses down to a rather low discrimination level. By taking a low discrimination level it is possible to exploit the potentially high efficiency of the scintillator to a much larger extent. In our particular case the over-all counting efficiency could be doubled.
