Abstract

The performance of the prototype modules of neutron detectors for the Large Acceptance Multi-Purpose Spectrometer (LAMPS) was investigated, using cosmic muons and neutron beams at 65 and 392 MeV, provided by the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP). The timing and position resolutions were estimated using cosmic muons as 309 ps and 4.8 cm, respectively. The energy resolution depended on the incident energy of neutrons: 1.3% at 65 MeV and 3.1% at 392 MeV. The neutron-detection efficiency also showed weak energy dependence as it decreased from (9.0 ± 1.6)% at 65 MeV to (6.3 ± 1.0)% at 392 MeV.
