Pulse shape discrimination has typically been used to distinguish neutrons from gamma rays and light charged particles. This technique has generally been applied to scintillation detectors. However, Mutterer et al. showed that pulse shape discrimination could be with silicon detectors [1]. Pulse shape discrimination was tried with a 500 im n-TD silicon detector from Canberra Industries. The n-TD silicon detector was placed in the back position of a dE-E telescope. A 300 im silicon detector was placed in the front position. The dE-E telescope provided clear mass resolution. Pulse shape discrimination using the n-TD silicon provided clear charge resolution. The charge resolution from the n-TD silicon detector was achieved by measuring the rise times of the pulses coming from the n-TD silicon and comparing them with their energies. [1] M.Mutterer, et al.
