Abstract

A new type detector, called ‘Self-TOF detector’, has been developed for high energy neutron spectrometry behind a shield. The detector consists of a veto counter, a set of radiators with 20 thin detectors, a start counter and a stop counter of nine segments. The measurement of the detector response function for high energy neutrons and the concrete and iron shielding experiments were done at the Heavy-Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) of National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), Japan. By using the response functions, neutron spectra behind shield were obtained by unfolding and the results were compared with the LAHET Code System (LCS).
