Abstract
In order that radiations emitted from actinide nuclides may be detected effectively, simultaneously and separately, the authors have applied a multi-parameter technique to two types of phoswich and analyzed the output data in three dimensions, viz., event number, pulse height and rise time, Effective simultaneous counting of alpha-, beta (including gamma)-rays and neutrons was consequently made possible with the two types of phoswich: ZnS(Ag)/6Li glass and ZnS(Ag)/anthracene
