Abstract

Light output of C₆H₆ and C₆H₁₂ proton scintillators has been measured for neutrons using a ²⁴¹Am-Be source. In these measurements the energy of the neutrons (recoil protons) was measured using time-of-flight technique. The light output of the C₆H₆ scintillator was measured for seven proton energies ranging from 2.185 to 4.236 MeV while that of the C₆H₁₂ scintillator was measured for eight neutron energies ranging from 2.201 to 5.147 MeV. The measured light output data of the C₆H₆ scintillator is in good agreement with the published data. Additionally the proton and deuteron response ratio of a C₆D₆ scintillator identical in shape and size was derived from these measurements. The response ratio of the C₆D₆ scintillator agrees with the published data.
