EDEN - A NEUTRON TIME-OF-FLIGHT MULTIDETECTOR FOR DECAY STUDIES OF GIANT STATES

A neutron time-of-flight multidetector has been built to study the decay of giant states. It is made of 40 individual detectors. A liquid scintillator is used for neutron-gamma-ray pulse shape discrimination. The overall efficiency of the multidetector (epsilonOMEGA/4pi) is 1% for 6 MeV neutrons and the energy resolution is about 60 keV and 500 keV for 1 MeV and 6 MeV neutrons respectively.
