A clustering algorithm based on jet algorithms for cross-talk events in neutron detector arrays

A clustering algorithm based on the jet (cascade of particles descendant from a single particle due to hadronization) algorithms used in High Energy Physics is presented for identification of neutron cross-talk events in neutron detector arrays with one layer by defining a temporal distance function, instead of transverse energy. Detector simulations on an array of neutron detectors show a significant improvement when compared with neighbor rejection technique and the method of gating with time-of-flight difference.
