Abstract

The construction and operation of a scintillation bubble chamber system is described and an experimental application to the detection and analysis of high energy neutrons is reported. It is shown that neutron-induced events confined to the bubble chamber fluid can be correlated electronically with external scattering interactions detected by scintillation counters. Application to high-energy neutron polarization analysis is discussed.
