Abstract An efficient method was developed for calculating the pulse height distribution from a scintillation detector irradiated by monoenergetic neutrons. The method was based on the separation of the pulse height distribution conlributions from single and multiple neutron scattering by nuclei of the scintillator material. The contribution from single scattering was computed analytically, and that from multiple scattering by the Monte-Carlo method, The new method is considerably more precise than the usual Monte-Carlo method. Consideration was given to a number of effects which were neglected in previous work. The computations performed were mainly designed to obtain information about fast neutron spectra from experimental data.
