Abstract

The 7Li(p, n)7Be reaction has been used to produce neutrons with energies ranging from 8 to 13 MeV in order to measure the absolute neutron counting efficiency of a large NE213 scintillator by the associated particle method. Recoil 7Be nuclei were detected with a ΔE (gas)-E (solid) telescope in coincidence with neutrons. The method is suitable for neutron energies greater than 1.2 MeV and could be applied to establish the neutron efficiency response of any detector.
