Abstract :
Recent efforts have been aimed at investigating neutron detectors based on the combined signal from capture-gated organic scintillators. We present a Monte Carlo approach that is based on the simulation of the neutron detector response on an event-by-event basis. Detection efficiency, scintillator pulse height, and time-to-capture are among the quantities that can be estimated by the Monte Carlo technique.
