- Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) is a widely used technique in many experimental analysis. In this study, we specifically aimed to assess the effectiveness of PSD in accurately measuring decay time. We measured the decay times of a 0.1 wt% Gd-loaded liquid scintillator (Gd-LS) with 5 vol% Ultimagold-F added when irradiated with neutrons and gamma rays, which were emitted from a Cf-252 radiation source, using a two-exponential decay model. We distinguished between gamma-like events and neutron-like events using the time-of-flight difference. Based on the measured decay times, we developed a simulation to model the waveforms. In the sim-ulation, we adjusted the number of photoelectrons (NPE) and generated waveforms for NPE ranging from 10 to 1000 photoelectrons. We investigated the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) performance as a function of NPE photoelectrons (PE) and determined that at least 49 PE is required for a neutron-like events rejection efficiency of 90%, while keeping gamma-like events 97.8%.
