摘要：

Two 2 '' x 2 '' liquid scintillator detectors BC537 and BC501A have been characterized for their responses and efficiencies to gamma-ray detection. Light output resolution and response functions were derived by least-squares minimization of a simulated response function, fitted to experimental data. The gamma-ray response matrix and detection efficiency were simulated with Monte Carlo (MC) methods and validated. For photon energies below 2.4 MeVee, the resolution, as well as the efficiency, of BC501A is better than BC537 scintillator. The situation is reversed when the energy is higher than 2.4 MeVee. BC537 has higher gamma-ray detection efficiency than BC501A if the impinging photon energy is more than 2 MeV due to different ratios of C to H/D atoms. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
