Abstract

The response function of a 12.5 cm diameter NE213 scintillator detector has been measured over neutron energies ranging from 4.9 to 16.6 MeV. Beams of monoenergetic neutrons were produced using the ²H(d, n)³He reaction. The response function is about 12% lower than previously reported values for a similar detector obtained using a continuous spectrum of neutrons from a ²⁵²Cf fission source. However, the present response function agrees with portions of data sets obtained in published work that used monoenergetic neutron source reactions.
