Abstract

Abstract A segmented neutron detector has been constructed and used for recoil neutron (6–13 MeV) measurements of the reaction γp→nπ+ very close to threshold. BC-505 liquid scintillator was used to allow pulse shape discrimination between neutrons and photons. A measurement of the absolute efficiency of the detector was performed using stopped pions in the reaction π−p→nγ. Results of the efficiency calibration are compared to a Monte Carlo simulation.
