Abstract
A radiation detection system and a method for a parallel detection of gamma-rays and neutrons are provided, comprising a gamma-ray detector comprising a scintillator crystal comprisingI, a digitizer to generate digitized time series and an analyzer, characterized in that the analyzer is adapted to identify a primary signal component, a first delayed signal component and a second delayed signal component in the digitized time series. The first and second delayed signal components, respectively, correspond to an energy deposition of about 30 keV and about 138 keV, and follow the primary and first delayed signal components in time. The analyzer is further adapted to count the number of digitized time series comprising at least the first and the second delayed signal components as neutron events, thereby providing a measure for a neutron flux the scintillator crystal is exposed to.
