Abstract
A black neutron detector of novel design has been constructed and test ed as a neutron flux monitor. The neutron time-of-flight (TOF) techniq ue was used to measure the zero degree neutron spectrum from a subnano second pulsed proton beam on a thick metallic lithium target. We descr ibe the detector, discuss the shielding arrangement and electronics, d etermine the low-energy cut-off. We calculate the efficiency, show spe ctra and compare measured zero degree differential cross-section of th e Li-7(p, n(0))Be-7 reaction with recommended published cross-sections .
