Neutron time of flight detector array at pelletron-linac facility at Mumbai

In this talk the characterization and use of a 1 m2 plastic detector array for neutron time-of-flight measurements using stable heavy ion beams at the Mumbai Pelletron Linac Facility are discussed. The preliminary results from two experiments: gamma-ray multiplicity gated neutron spectra in the 12C+93Nb reaction at E (12C) = 40 MeV and neutron spectra in coincidence with alpha particles in the 7Li+205Tl reaction at E (7Li) = 30 MeV. I are presented and the different setups developed at PLF, Mumbai to study nuclear reactions involving measurements of the neutrons, high energy gamma-rays and charged particles in coincidence with the gamma-rays detected in a BGO γ-multiplicity setup, and/or residues detected in a parallel plate avalanche counter placed in a very forward direction are also presented
