Abstract
A neutron detector based on a polystyrene hydrogenous scintillator is descr ibed. The detector allows one to measure incident neutron fluxes with inten sities ranging from 10(3) to 2 x 10(5) neutron/s with a time resolution of 4 ms. The detector operation is demonstrated in experiments performed at th e AMBAL-M installation and the IK-50 test bench for recording fluxes of fas t neutrons generated in the injector tract of a deuterium beam as a result of the D+ + D --> n + He-3 thermonuclear reaction.
