  • Abstract
    The absolute efficiency of an NE213 liquid scintillator of 12.7 cm diameter and 5.08 cm thickness was measured in the neutron energy range 2.5–16 MeV using the 2H(d, n)3He reaction as a source of monoenergetic neutrons. The efficiencies were measured at the time-of-flight facility of Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). The experimental data are compared to calculations from the Monte Carlo code NEFF of Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany (PTB).
