Solid state organic scintillators, such as anthracene, stilbene, and p-terphenyl were investigated on their basic scintillation properties and neutron-gamma discrimination capabilities. Scintillation wavelengths under X-ray irradiation of anthracene, stilbene, and p-terphenyl were 445-525, 400-500, and 350-450 nm, respectively. Scintillation light yields of anthracene, stilbene, and p-terphenyl under Cs-137 gamma-ray irradiation were 20100, 16000, and 19400 ph/MeV, respectively. Neutron and gamma-ray events discrimination capabilities were examined and anthracene exhibited the best figure of merit among three organic scintillators. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
