The CLYC (Cs[Formula: see text]LiYCl[Formula: see text]:Ce) detector is a scintillator detector sensitive to both neutron and gamma radiation and capable of separating the two types of radiation by pulse-shape discrimination. This feature is interesting as pertains to the development of non-destructive assays for the safeguard of nuclear material, nuclear security, and fast-neutron personal dosimetry. A [Formula: see text] CLYC detector highly enriched with [Formula: see text]Li was purchased and tested with analog and digital electronics. In this work, we report on the characterization of the detector in terms of linearity, energy resolution, and full-energy efficiency for gamma rays. This characterization was achieved by measurements with calibrated gamma-ray point-sources with an analog measuring chain, in a well-defined, reproducible geometry. The experimental data were also used to validate a model of the detection system that was developed with the Monte Carlo code MCNP-CP. This work is part of a collaborative agreement between SCK•CEN and JRC-Geel.

We use Monte Carlo techniques to simulate the statistical properties of rotation-powered pulsars in the Gould Belt. The gamma-ray properties of these pulsars are calculated by using a self-consistent outer gap model and other pulsar properties, i.e., initial magnetic field and period, and velocity distribution of the neutrons stars at birth, are obtained from the statistics of radio pulsars. We obtain distributions of the magnetic inclination angle, period, distance and age for these gamma-ray pulsars in the Gould Belt.

The PGNAA system for the cement measurement was simulated based on Monte Carlo method. The sizes of the moderator and reflector for the 14 MeV DT neutron generator were optimized for fast and thermal neutron outputs. The DT neutron generator was simulated at the pulse mode, and the gamma-ray detector was set as LaBr3(Ce) scintillator. The characteristic peaks of the major elements (Ca, Si, Al, Fe) can be identified from the gamma-ray spectra which induced at the different time intervals of the neutron radiation. For the different thicknesses of the cement sample the ratios of the gamma-ray peaks were observed, and the result showed that when the thickness was between 20 to 30 cm, the ratios became stable. With the ratios, we can calculate the iron modulus, silica modulus and lime saturation factor.
