Description

For separation of neutron and gamma photon detection signals a detector consisting of alternating scintillator and Cherenkov radiator layers is developed. Test results of the detector with the working area of 7 NE 102A type scintillator plates and 7 Cherenkov radiator plates (polymethylmetacrylate) are presented. The plates are 200x150x15 mm. The FEhU-63 photomultipliers are used. Exrosure was carried out in the 3 GeV/c π-meson beam. The target material is carbon. At the neutron detection threshold of 40 MeV, more than 95% of gamma photons are identified. 2 refs.; 4 figs
