Abstract
A ''live'' plastic scintillator converter has been added to our compac t, neutron detector system. The latter employs a large-area, proton te lescope, consisting of multiwire chambers, DELTAE and E detectors to m easure the energy and angle of recoil protons. The ''live'' converter provides an increase in count rate by a factor of 6 as well as some im provement in neutron energy resolution. Neutron scattering data for a 65 MeV neutron beam at CNL and for neutron energies from 60 to 240 MeV at LAMPF have been taken with this type of system.
