Borated Liquid Scintillator<br />

High neutron capture cross section on<br />

boron allows for compact veto size<br />

Capture results in 1.47 MeV α particle<br />

- detected with high efficiency<br />

Short capture time (2.3 μs) reduces<br />

dead time loss<br />

Veto Efficiency<br />

Radiogenic Neutrons > 99.5%*<br />

Cosmogenic Neutrons > 95%<br />

Nuclear Instruments and Methods A 644, 18 (2011)<br />

*60 μs veto window (2% dead time)
