F. Borne et al., SPALLATION NEUTRON-SPECTRA MEASUREMENTS .1. TIME-OF-FLIGHT TECHNIQUE, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 385(2), 1997, pp. 339-344
We present an experimental method based on a time-of-flight technique
between the tagged incident particles and a thick liquid NE213 scintil
lator to measure neutron energy spectra from 3 to 400 MeV at the Satur
ne synchrotron of Saclay. Efficiency measurements are made using a pul
sed neutron source from the Tandem Van de Graaff of Bruyeres-le-Chatel
at low energies and a quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam at Saturne up
to 50 MeV.
