Abstract :
In this paper, we present the results of the neutron and photon calibration of a BC-420 plastic scintillator and a BC-501 liquid scintillator using a set of reference gamma sources and a Cf-252 source. The position of neutron and photon interactions inside the scintillators as a function of energy is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation.
