摘要：

A new neutron detector array (NEUANCE) is under development at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). After completion, NEUANCE will be installed in the central cavity of the 3.6 pi gamma-ray detector array DANCE located at the Lujan Center of LANSCE. The detector system, with simultaneous neutron and gamma-ray detection capability, will be used to study neutron-induced capture and fission reactions. The response of a EJ-309 scintillation detector to gamma-ray and neutron radiation was measured using the standard gamma-ray and Cf-252 sources. The light from the detector was collected using a Hamamatsu photomultiplier tube or a Silicon photomultiplier GEANT4 was used to understand the light output and the optical photon transport in the scintillation. The detector geometry and optimum parameters for the data acquisition system were determined based on the test results and the simulations.
