Description

The upcoming neutron detector array facility at IUAC will have 100 individual neutron detectors installed in a fixed radius semi sphere configuration. Currently in its first phase of installation, the array consist 50 detectors mounted on a metallic geodesic dome structure at a radial distance of 1.75 m from the target. The detectors are of 5 inch x 5 inch organic liquid scintillator cell BC501-A coupled to 5 inch photo multiplier tube (PMT). The BC501-A liquid organic scintillators have the best pulse shape discrimination properties giving good neutron-gamma discrimination
