Abstract
The neutron detection efficiency of an NE104 plastic scintillator (10 cm diameter × 10 cm thick) has been measured in the energy range En = 0.3–7 MeV. The T(p, n), D(d, n) and T(d, n) reactions were employed as neutron sources. Experimental results have been compared with the calculleted efficiency obtained from three different Monte Carlo codes.
