摘要：
We have measured the detection efficiency of a 12.7 cm Ø × 12.7 cm cell of NE213 liquid scintillator by detecting 130 MeV neutrons in coincidence with 7Be ions produced by the 7Li(p, n)7Be reaction. Experimental considerations are described, and the data are compared to Monte Carlo calculations of the efficiency. The dependence of the detection efficiency on the light output threshold is only qualitatively reproduced, but within the nominal 10% error of such calculations. © 1979.
