NaI scintillators are used as cold dark matter (CDM) detectors relying on pulse shape discrimination to separate x-ray and gamma-ray background induced pulses from possible CDM weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) nuclear recoil events. So far, most techniques have used simplified approximations to the actual pulse shapes. A potentially better way is to analyse the pulses in terms of the fundamental decay rates of the metastable states electron/hole diffusion times. This involves fitting three decay time constants and two amplitudes. Results of using this new techniqueare presented.
