Abstract
The time-of-flight (ToF) method with scintillators is routinely used for determining neutron energy. However, a technical difficulty related to the loss of scintillator efficiency below 1MeV makes this technique difficult to implement for the energy decade [100keV-1MeV]. New crystal production techniques provide stilbene scintillators efficient in this low neutron energy region, making it possible to extend the ToF technique below 1MeV. In this manner, measurements of secondary reactions (d,n) on carbon or oxygen nuclei in this range become feasible, which should lead to improved reference calibration conditions in neutron fields produced by a deuterium ion beam.
