Observations of astrophysical phenomena, such as the luminosity of X-ray bursts and the abun-
dance pattern of stars, can be explained by nuclear reactions occurring in the stars. It is well known
that the nuclear reaction rates of nuclei involved in nucleosynthesis have a direct impact on stellar
evolution, such as energy generation, the nucleosynthesis path, and nal abundance pattern of...
Charge integration ratio (Q$_{ratio}$) method in the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) technique has been widely used to discriminate between fast neutron and gamma by using scintillation detectors. Analog pulses from the detectors are digitized by a high-speed sampling digitizer and recorded for digital pulse processing. In this work, we introduce an EJ-276 plastic scintillator and a Stilbene...
