Measured neutron coincident events at 90° (a) and 180° (b).

Caption

There are 5 types of interfering events in the measured neutron coincidence events at 90° and 180°. The first type, shown in the purple box, corresponds to γ-ray events; the second type, shown in the green box, refers to cases where the first neutron is an accidental coincidence neutron; the third type, shown in the red box, refers to cases where the second neutron is an accidental coincidence neutron; the fourth type, shown in the black frame, refers to cases where the γ-ray is an accidental coincidence γ-ray; and the fifth type, shown in the yellow ellipse, corresponds to events induced by crosstalk. For the coincidence events shown in the white box, the interference from the first and fifth types of interfering events can be ignored, while the interference from the other three types is subtracted.
