A New High Efficiency Array of C6D6 Detectors for Capture Cross Section Measurements at GELINA
Neutron capture cross section measurements at the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) rely on the use of H-free deuterated benzene C6D6 liquid scintillators. A new design of Aluminium canned C6D6 detectors was studied to improve the performances (high gamma efficiency vs. low neutron sensitivity) of the cylindrical previous ones: on the basis of a truncated 5-sides pyramid, the new detectors were developed and tested in Geel, and used in a preliminary capture cross section measurement on 197Au in a 4 detectors setup.
